ROAR rulz :lol:

According to a thread on RC Tech, Roar is building a committee, to look into a rebuild of the electric classes, to bring them up to the levels of the Nitro ranks. This will include an eighth scale electric (buggy and truggy class) and possibly MT as well. The only reason i am watching so intently, is because my track is ready to get into an organization and they are looking at a few to join (top of the list is ROAR, RC Pro and the eastcoast Nitro series), but if they go with ROAR my lipo's Might be outlawed till legalized, and my mamba maxxes might be illegal to run, with current rules.

Personally, I have always been in favor of "run what you brung and let the skill be the difference", Too bad that others don't like them rules (ROAR and the like)

it's 2008..

no MMM yet?

:-) lol


can't wait...

Woops.

That sounds good, as long as they don't outlaw a lot of stuff people are already using. If there's an official class for brushless 1/8th then there's more reason for tracks to let them race and will help get more people into it. Hopefully we don't get limited to novak motors and nimh.
I like the "run what you brung" sort of rules as well. You can only have so much power on an off road track before wheel spin becomes a big problem, so the most powerful setups don't really have an advantage on the track.
I can understand all the rules for the stock classes, but stock has always looked pretty boring to me.

I guess that the MMM is just a myth......something to wish for while we pass time.

here is one
the new sidewinder is only $144.00 at tower with a 5700 motor
and only $76.00 for the esc alone why is it cheeper???
what did they down grade???

less electronics, no wires that are soldered, translates in cheaper manufacturing.

I think they also mentioned a lower spec overall- it has about 70% the capability of the MM, so it wont go into MTs anymore. The MMM isnt a myth though, more of a rare species.... end of Feb is the due date; we will be waiting.

The sidewinder looks like a great 10th scale controller, and cheap too. If it can handle 4s it will be great. Maybe need to disable the bec, but the cc bec are only 20 bucks. I like using 4s on 10th scale 4wd, it really "wakes it up":wink:

BTW, guys, ROAR has made the use of LIPO pack LEGAL. You heard me, right?

I assure you the MMM is not a myth. Im on it awaiting more on the progress.

We all have been waiting............and waiting............and waiting
I hope it does come out soon

The sidewinder release foreshadows it, says Holmes.

What's that mean?

I think it means that because the Sidewinder is now out, the MMM should be coming out "soon". :smile:
