[quote="Leester"]Hello Everyone.

My next race will the Tamiya Championship Series regional race in Milwaukee WI on March 28-29 2009.

I have decided for this race and the remainder of the season, I will focus and compete in one class, GT2. This is a class that uses a Carbon molded chassis that used lay down front suspension like that on a F1 car, the type of motors that are used for this event are called 17.5 Brushless motors. 17.5 is the number of winds that a used on the motor, usually the lower the winds the faster the motor, and brushless means, that this motor does not use conventional brushes like that used on a regular DC or racing performance motor, they also are less maintenance or maintenance free. These motors have adjustable timing, which at the top of the motor there are 3 screws, and a ring under it that when loosened, it can be turned and adjusted to have more top speed when turned one way, or less top end  when turned the other. This is illegal and there will be officials and a tech crew that will be checking racers motors to see if there has been any tampering with them. If there has been any unnecessary tampering or adjusting with the motors, the racer responsible will be disqualified, another of the rules is that and Lipo batteries (Lithium Polymer for short) that has a hard plastic case and is up to 5000 MAH (Milliamps per hour) are allowed for this class. Anything above the MAH limit is illegal.
