Whilst it has now been decided this motor is illegal the whole point of the class was to have a fun class. No Championship was envisaged and in effect no formal rules have been set.
In reality the original agreement was to run box std MO3 cars - most of the minis have been hopped up - partly for reliability and partly in the hope for more speed.
Other drivers have used other ploys such as running touring car wet tyres and wheels when we have had rain.
The championship was started in response to a request from the mini drivers, without a formal outline of rules we have let a lot these discretions go as the championship is still evolving.
My suggestion is we adopt the Tamiya UK cup rules with the following suggestions
Any bodyshell that is commercially available for the M03/M04 be allowed,
any ESC. Other manufacturers hop ups allowed as long as they are a direct equivalent to a Tamiya part
More importantly the arguements re motors have gone on for a long time.
The club has bought 30 motors, we will ask each mini driver for a small sum (£2?) at the start of the series this will be a one off fee.
The motors will be handed out at the start of the meeting and must be returned at the end of the meeting. This will be in totally random way, so you may or may not have the same motor at each meeting.
