What I find amazing though is that watching the Mini Max or Intl RMax videos you see great driving. Pushing hard but nothing unreasonable.
I wish we could get some of that sense and balance into all of the classes. I know this is hard to do, but we have some smart and dedicated people in this group. A first turn pileup should not be that bad!
Your theories are impeccable. The 1st corner “pile up should not be that bad” I agree with. Honestly, we’d take, we’ll any other engine package to get through turn one” (there are so many available) I wish we could see front running performance from you in kart racing, then weigh your opinions accordingly. JJ. I’ve also flown R/C in competitive environments in the past, can’t really think of too much that actually relates to this conversation. Other than the fact you may have spent 30 – 50 G’s following a particular series for hopes of getting in the big one” for your chosen sport. I did spend quite a bit to be competitive in an R/C environment, (helicopters) to be competitive on the big stage. And spent some of my time with individuals who could buy myself, or our track owners a couple times over, (sorry Jim) They had big $.
My driver is clean and will race you to the bare bone if called for. We were where you are 5-6 years ago and appreciate your comments. If it was closer to the heart and soul of what we do, it would be given more weight for us. But this has much more at stake. It’s just not the same place. Not knocking where you are.
You are a very nice man and the consummate “club racer” and I look at everything you post in that light. Unfortunately JJ. we are at the other end of the grid than you. (hopefully that changes in the next year or two) and the perspective is different, as the National level R/C flying is. And moving forward, you can make a positive impact on racing here. It takes respect to get others behind you in word, or example!
