Great that the mardaves have moved with the times i think the modified class championship will be very interesting this series.
I think it would be a good idea for all drivers to publish what esc and motor they are using just to keep tracks that everyone is legal for the championship.

yea but people are supposed to drive round people in the final not through them I was in 1st place until I kept getting driven into there was also some very dubious lap times in that final 8 sec laps not in this life time lmfao

Sounds like it was a good night. I was travelling back from Germany so missed.

Car is now sorted, hopefully, so will be there next week with any luck.

I think thats a really good idea as mine is a core rc esc running a 95c one cell on a tekin 13.5 and I was slow compared to some the strange thing is tho there is a few of us that are exactly the same speed your car suggy and mine were identical down the straight and i bet your running a different 13.5t motor so why are others alot quicker

I had a clean race and always make clean manouvers if i take someone out i generally stop and let them go back through, (seems old skool these days but back when we used to race touring cars back in the day that kind of sportsmanship was encouraged, less so these days with no commentary and auto starts) and to be fair I think every one had 1 8 second lap at some point.

unfortantly I was not one of the 8 sec ones but I agree even tho its mardave you should make sure you take people cleanly not go through them I ended up with a 20sec lap because of it and lost the lead

It's the abilitys that's the issue.
The lower abilities are racing with the faster cars.

I'm running a Tekin RSpro & Reedy Sonic Lipo with a 13.5 RX2

I am using a novak gtb2 esc with a Fusion exceed 13.5t motor. The esc is permanently in blinky mode.
I know dan,kev and dobs all have blinky mode turned on and all have 13.5t motors all legal.
I know there are certain 13.5t motors are a lot faster than others but they are all brca legal for the championship.
I think we need someone doing spot checks to see if we r all in blinky mode and using 13.5t motors otherwise i can imagine people will start adjusting timings etc and the racing will get out of hand.
