I can understand doing tech at a national event, when you have guys traveling from all over. But for our club racing it's not an issue we don't have shady people in the club. We don't have secrets, all our boats are open to everyone in the club and for the most part run all the same equipment. If a fellow racer has an issue more than likely a couple of us will have something for them to keep racing that day. Raptor347 I met you a few years back at the Northwest Scale Championship race that Marty S put on. We had a good conversation and you saw our boats U-21 Albert LEE, and one of the Formulas U5 I believe, but anyways there was no Tech at that race and no issues. I mean if someone needs to win that bad and cheat they are only going to hurt themselves in the long run.I'm no prop expert by any means, but I have learned that 57mm Octura,Prather,ABC,Andy Brown,ect... in the 1/8 scale hydro class works great. and there are different pitches of props in that 57mm category available to help tune a boat, depending on the boat some like alot of pitch others very little, so IMO there would be no reason for us to put a limit on pitch in 1/8 scale hydro. However the ESC will let you know if the prop was to big and or had to much pitch anyways...POOOF!All I want to do is go race my toy boats and have a good time with my fellow racers, and welcome anyone to come race.
