Four cell riggers with brushed 05 motors were somewhat popular a few years back and were raced on a regular basis in some clubs.has anyone on the board built a 4 cell rigger? i'm toying with the idea as i built a 4 cell cat and need something else to build.
Jan-it is a fun boat but it has it's days counted since ROAR will/isusing a Novak brushless motor.
I'd start with like an x432 to be safe.. If that's too cold, go to a x435any prop recommendations? i gonna power it with a 10 double trinity cobalt with wire drive with a 1/8 th" stub shaft.

To the best of my knowledge, the M2 motor specification has not changed.... It is the only NAMBA 05 brushed rule that does not cite a ROAR motor specification, so the ROAR stock and 19 turn motor rule changes will not affect the class. The M2 rule specifies 05 brushed motors, any endbell and ferrite magnets... IMPBA rules do allow brushless motors... let's hear it for the dinosaurs! B)
Pat M and Jay Turner are the KINGS of 4-cell..
Jay's record is at LEAST 5-6 years standing.. I've tried at like 3 times to take it down with no success, and that's with today's equipment!!
Not to blow anyone else's horn, but Jay holds the 4-cell mono record from since before I've even been to the LA SAWS, and that was 5 years ago (when I got my first record)Bill,not to take anything away from Jay,
Pat is the record holder.
Those 2 guys are REALLY the kings of 4 cell brushed motors.

And the record has stood since 2001 which makes it 7 years old, and the second oldest SAWS record on NAMBA's books, and actually the second oldest electric straightline record
in the US..
Do you know who holds the most SAWS records in America? -ME Bill Wilmer Oxidean team BBY
Its possible Pat's record will never be beaten.. The boat was insane, I wish Pat would post a pic so you could see it..
I watched 80 percent of the saws records on the books broken in person No horn tooting, just stating pure facts, and stieffelling the very start of my being discredited..
Well, for the record, in NAMBA you are tied with Brother Brian Buaas at 5 and 5.Do you know who holds the most SAWS records in America? -ME Bill Wilmer Oxidean team BBY
IMHO, if the records were done with the same boat and or class @ different events then why not count them for the US total?Well, for the record, in NAMBA you are tied with Brother Brian Buaas at 5 and 5.Do you know who holds the most SAWS records in America? -ME Bill Wilmer Oxidean team BBY
In IMPBA Chris Harris holds 6 SAWS records as does Paul Pachmayer. Brian only has 2 IMPBA records and you have 5. So I guess if you add IMPBA and NAMBA together you are right. But I think that is only fair to do if they were different boats and/or classes.
Not trying to take anything away from you Wilmer, just trying to be accurate.
Hey Bill what about Ed Hughey he has held an awful lot of SAW FE records?
Yes, I believe Ed hughey at one time held more SAWS records than any one person has EVER held..
I've studied these things quite well as most of the records I've broken in IMPBA were his..
No invalidation of the great Ed Hughey though..
Ed hughey has also broken more records at one event than anyone on the books to date..
My personal best is 7-records in 2-days..
I think Hughey still holds the most 2-lap records in IMPBA..
I hold the most 2-lap in NAMBA (until Brian goes down there and cleans up)
Bill, none of my records are the same in both sanctions, and only 2 of the records were done with the same boat..Well, for the record, in NAMBA you are tied with Brother Brian Buaas at 5 and 5.Do you know who holds the most SAWS records in America? -ME Bill Wilmer Oxidean team BBY

Looks like YOU broke into the brotherhood of speed with your 2 records first saws? a guy is lucky to break one his first time..No worries. I was looking at them as separate. I can see how it also makes sense to view them together. Either way, an amazing number of records. When you look at it the majority of the records are held by a very small group of dedicated racers. Impressive.
