IMPORTANT CLUB VOTE - 12th Scale Motors

[jarrodH]

It seems senseless to buy another motor if you already have a box full of them.  Who here doesn't have at least two or three stock motors?  I mean if you buy one you almost need to buy a second spare just in case you need to quickly change in a new motor for your next heat.  With the added expense of buying multiple packs of batteries probably multiple times in a season do we need to spend money on one or two redundant stock motors?

not everyone buys 4/5+ motors a season, and has them stock pilled in their box or closet,.. i buy A motor for A season, and im shure im not alone in this, so im goin to need one. and 2 maybe 3 batteries..what ever we are using this year..

I would think so

Quote from Blake

Each IROCCer that will race during the winter season may submit one vote.  You may submit your vote to Craig Roberts or me (Blake Bell).  Craig can be reached at home (478-5628) or via his cell (896-5630).  Of course you may submit your vote to him in person as well.  You may submit your vote to me in person, or via a Private Message on this website (my username here is "blake").  This is NOT a secret ballot vote.  The list of voters/votes will be published publicly so that everyone can see their vote.  This is the only way to take votes accurately and fairly without having to get everyone together in one place.  It will also eliminate any cheating as the votes will be made public.

The deadline for votes will be the end of the raceday this coming Sunday, August 24th, at the Queen Alexandra race.

  Time limit on vote was a little short dont you think?

[Arch]

 I also find it odd that you say on the26th that voting ends on the 24th.wtf

[SgRddY]

i don't see why you guys can't vote still.  i know the deadline has passed but not all of us are on here everyday.  this should have been announced at a race day or something.

[BigDawg]

im sure blake would except a few late voters its not like indoors starts this week.right blake???

[Blake]

Ken and Doug
Sure thing.  Latecomers, please cast your votes now.  Better late than never.  I believe Phil needs motor numbers by this weekend at the absolute latest though.

Shane
The reason for the tight timeline was simply to ensure we can get the motors in our hands before the start of the season.  Also, not sure what you mean about the 24th/26th thing.  I started this thread on August 18th.

Andrew
We've always said the website is NOT the place for official decisions to be made.  Therefore I would have *hoped* that the vote was mentioned to the racers at the August 17th raceday; I was not there, so I guess it was not....  If you were at the August 24th raceday then you would have heard about it for sure.  Please cast your vote now.

Kurk
I sold my vote to Gord for 20 Timbits.  I did it just to get your goat.

Hey, Guys.

Yeah, timing on battery orders will be critical most of all. 4-6 weeks lead time we are told. For the motor front - it depends on the club's final decision. Specifically, the XB 17.5 brushless - should the club go that route - is very difficult to keep in stock and sometimes backordered from the factory for months. Similarly, if the club went down tht handout route and we were to tune some up, we have limited quantities on hand and would need to order some. Stock motors take approx 45 minutes of Trent's time whereas brushless is half that time since there is no need to spend 20 minutes breaking in (10 at 1V and 10 at 2V for example) and there is no com to cut. So, either way, the decisions the exec make will impact production in one form or another should the club opt to get motors from T-Bang at all. It would be a shame to hit the carpet with most folks out of luck or paying top dollar on the battery front!

[Gorden]

if any of the guys who did not vote showed up last weekend to help setup or put away the track they would all know whats going on with the vote.

No need for late votes......just my 2 cents

[Arch]

 Well lets see......Glenn is away on holidays,Kieth and Dustin arent accounted for,Nick Fantetti,Where is he?So I assume there are more interested parties not aware of this rushed deadline.I thought the EXECUTIVE was going to make a FINAL decision,for the greater good for all.May I also point out that if you combine A and B it trumps C.So really more members prefer to run stock motors!How do ya like THAT. myne
