easy answer run a waterproof esc!
i did not a problem all weekend.
as for the meeting being cancelled after round 1, why the track was drivable the only issue with breaking down car's was esc, why penalise people who have equipment that can handle the british weather!!!. some people who did blow there's didnt even try to protect there non waterprrof esc, which is crazy. other like brian preddy who ran his lrp through the deapest puddle!!
but because he had done something about waterproofing he finished round 2!
as for cml/horizon having the stock to replace the esc, probably in the next few weeks they will happily send you out a new esc after you've paid the £80 warrenty repair price for the water damage!
Chris, are you saying that the products we have purchased aren't fit for the purpose ????????????
I think the rant about the weather/abandoning is hugely un-neccessary. The BRCA have a tough job, and whatever the decision then people will be unhappy.
Abandoning after round 1 would leave the meeting void, we need two complete rounds to make the meeting stand (as per Paul Worsley at drivers breifing)
Abandoning mid round 2 would leave the meeting void AND those in early heats who had run (and perhaps had blown electrics) very angry.
So perhaps it was a push to complete round 2, but it was worth doing it to make the meeting stand for championship points.
Who raced 4wd at Holbeach at the last national they had? That meetng was far worse for weather, and it was run to completion of finals! CRAZY! There was little in the way of standing water, but instead the mud renderred many complete cars fit for the bin.... it was horrible.
Chris, i agree the BRCA do a great job. But i also do a great job to pay for what i do, and basically for a decision that should have been made i now have to spend more money!!
You can look at both sides, yes if we had cancelled after round 1 it would have been a void meeting!! So ???
It would have saved people some money, the track was not drivable or SAFE for the beginning of round 2!!
I never said anything about abandoning mid round 2 as that was bit late!!
You also say it was good thing finishing end of round 2 for champ points, why is that good thing ?? Im pretty sure a few people will have there best result from todays meeting and they won't get near it all year. As i said, the people who gained something from today will say the right decision was made.
Just venting my anger at the p$%s poor decision's made today!!
If the BRCA can take all the compliments then they can take some constructive criticism.
