I was dissapointed that I couldn't make the AGM.
I am curious as to what's happened. Below I have copied the proposal. So what happened.?
The proposal includes both stick and saddle. It also includes the dimensions that would include Trakpowers Stick and Saddle including both
4400's (dimensions L-70 x W-47 x H-30) and
3200's (dimensions L-71 x W-47 x H-25)
Was the vote raised?
Which way did the vote go?
If (according to what's been posted previously) why was the proposal split between stick and saddle?
Rule 25.1 Proposed: Chris Long Seconded: Jonathan Clark 1.09.2008.
Amend to read
“Cars will be driven by a maximum of six rechargeable Nimh cells or two rechargeable Lithium
Polymer cells in stick or saddle pack configuration, which cannot be replaced after a race has started.
(Rationale – To allow the use of Lithium Polymer (Lipo) batteries at 1/10 Off Road Regional and National events in 2009. Many club racers are already using Lipo batteries at club meetings; if Lipo batteries are not allowed to be used at Regional and National meetings a growing number of members will be excluded from racing at these meetings.
