ROAR continue with 6 cells for 2007 Categories - Industry, Electric, Racing - comments closed
US governing body ROAR have made a final decision to use 6 cells in their sanctioned electric events for 2007 after playing around with the idea of running 4 cell for the new season. This move away from 6 cells caused much heated debate on internet forums and in the end it was decided by ROAR that not enough was known about the implication of such changes and as such they will stay with the current configuration for next year.
At this time ROAR has determined that there is not enough information to make an informed decision as to the best direction to take in 2007. Regarding the number of cells in all classes there will be no change to the existing rules. ROAR will monitor the international developments of four and five cell racing and after careful evaluation, make its determination for the 2008 rules when appropriate.

Second helping of ‘RC Racing’ the show Categories - Video, Industry, Racing - comments closed
The second installment of the RC Car TV show, appropriately named ‘RC Racing‘, is coming to Motors TV in early December. HPI have once again given us the heads up and are understandably excited about it, as it features the second final from Italy in which team driver and employee Andy Moore won his World title. The first episode was interesting and well produced, if not a bit too much for the beginner, and we’re sure the second show will be more of the same and definitely worth the watch.
UK schedule only (people on Mainland Europe check your TV guides)
Wednesday - 6th December @ 21.30
Friday - 8th December @ 13.30
Saturday - 9th December @ 00.30

ROAR thinking about 4 cell touring Categories - Industry, Electric, National, Racing - comments closed
It seems ROAR are at it again with their unpopular decisions, this time contemplating a switch to 4 cells in touring car class for 2007. There is quite a vocal discussion on the RC Tech forums about this decision with the majority of racers pretty pissed about any move to 4 cell but especially annoyed that, being seen as not in touch with modern racing, ROAR are not fit to make decisions of this magnitude without consulting its members. ROAR seem to be loosing, or have already lost, any credibility amongst the racing masses with a lot of racers claiming to be only members because their track requires it for insurance reasons and not because they wish to race in their sanctioned events. The move is also seen by some as a way to block any move to reintroduce Lipo cells in an effort to support the NiMH cell importers who some believe have ROAR in their back pocket. I think BadBoy on rcracing.com sums it up best:
I say ROAR excomm get your head out of your ass and make your organization have value by building a race organization instead of a political good ole boys club wearing knee pads and getting tea bagged by the importers.
A decision on this matter will take place in next couple of weeks and we will keep you updated on what happens.

US Magazine RC Driver goes on the offensive Categories - Industry - comments closed
We were sent an e-mail today, in which contained a statement from US magazine RC Driver that essentially accuses leading US magazine Radio Control Car Action of copying the styling of their magazine and was therefore unfairly trying to confuse potential buyers into buying RCCA. The single design element in question that they claim RC Car Action has effectively stolen from them is the red block at the top of the page in which the magazines name is displayed.

RC Pro Series showing LiPo cells some love Categories - Industry, Events, Electric, Off Road, Racing - comments closed
Carlton over at the RC Pro series dropped us a mail to give us a heads up about the new regulations for the Electric Off road classes for their Winter series. The new rulings declare that LiPo are essentially allowed for all classes but Stock, which is cool, and whilst in the Brushless Truck Class and 1/18 Open there are no limitations in MAH, in the Mod 4wd, Mod Truck and Mod Buggy there is a cap of 4300 MAH on the cells used.
After being outlawed by ROAR it’s good to see a major race series adapt a sensible non alarmist ruling and allow the opportunity for anyone who wants to run LiPo’s to be able to do so by running in modified class.
You can read the rule changes after the jump… (more…)
