Pan Car Weight

Another thought: We had so much traction last weekend that it was actually possible to put down all the power of the 19T.  This might have accounted for some hot motors.

The 10.5's those guys are running have approximately 40% more torque than a K19. (They also run 40%+ less RPM - before anyone has a heart attack, they're not as different as one might think in terms of wattage).

If they're pushing it at 50mm, then the K19 guys are probably pushing it at 35.7mm or so (ignoring the other differences between the motor tech).

I'm guessing the safe spot is probably 34-35'ish mm rollout looking at nothing but the numbers and knowing the differences between how those motors dyno out.

i ran a rollout of 34 but was out powered by glenn and his brushless combo .by out powered i mean  i was faster in the corner but slower down the straights .so i geared up 1 tooth and burned up.the traction this last week was awsome so the torque of the brushless was more drivable.this week i will try to keep up the traction=same suger content .i am not saying we shoukd change any thing just being observant . we have been basing our rules on roar in 12 th scale for ever and very rarly have i seen a 12th scale car even close to minimum weight .part of this is due to the weight of the old cell compared to new cell ido beleive this is alot of the weight isue

Thanks for the roll out tips gents, I'll have to try something in or around  34-36ish again.

Looking at the results and the history/skill levels of the drivers, etc it looks like the serious competition has gone from TC to Pan car.  This is shaping up to be a very exciting season of racing particularly with the Pan cars.  This is our "Experimental Class" so this is the class we will be playing with the Brushless which is really a large part of the market for R/C - its just the racers that adapt the changes last it seems.  I know when it comes time to decide what we are running next season one of the big questions will be brushless stock so this is the time to experiment and find out what's what.

so this is the time to experiment and find out what's what.

I see that Associated (for one) is making brushless motors in 10.5, 13.5, 15.5 and 17.5 now.  I don't evy the exec on making the call for next year.

yep i think every weekend should be a speed weekend, 2 days of racing.

Sounds like you need VRC. Then you can race 24/7.

He just missed last weekend, and has got an itch to scratch, I think gotnitro is just upset that it wasnt his corally that won this past weekend it was brians...no more speed info for brian he is fast enough now....lol  :lol:
