South Bay Scalers King of Mini Hammers event

[rckjeep]

September 7th at 9am we'll have the first KOMH race. It's going to be a grueling long cousre with knarly rock sections and some killer speed sections.
Rules are as follows:

I'll design a long course, much longer than any other crawling course before. It'll have some knarly rock sections some high speed sections and some stuff in between.

Rig: No rig will be able to run a multi geared transmisson, batteries will be limited to 6 or 7 cell stick packs or 2s lipos. We need to keep it far. I'd like to limit it to brushed motors too. All other 1.9 rules apply. I doubt we'll worry about scale points since it's a timed event. What are your thoughts?

Race: It will be a timed event. Due to the lack of judges and contestants we'll one rig at a time. The course will consist of gates to guide the drivers to the finish. Bonus gates will also be spread out thru the course. The bonus gates will give the drivers a time deduction of 30 sec. for each gate cleanly progressed thru. Any roll-over/touch that can't be driven out of will cost the drivers a 30 sec. penalty. Fastest time wins.

Everyone will end up being a judge so read the rules please.

Post up if you can make it

That sux for the people that run 3s lipos. That'll be a huge disadvantage with a 2s lipo.

The KOMH race went fairly well. We had to make up a few rules as we went but thats exactly what this event was for. The course was roughly half a mile, starting with a climb, then a 6 foot drop into a dry canal then a fast section broken up here and there with some rocks. Then we climbed out of the canal to the hardest part of the course. A 60 yard dash up a knarly canyon to the finish. I'll upload pics tonight, hopefully. The wife has filled our harddrive with 35GB of pics and 20GB of video
