	Micro Classes Rule Proposals

Micro Class Rule Proposals Fellow boat racer Doug Forrester has finished his "Manifesto" on micro boats. It has in-depth data about micro boats, batteries, motors and more. The line of thinking in Doug's document has given rise to a rule set that is currently being put forth to the racing community here for approval. ###### LATEST REVISION 1/14 ###### General - Race Duration - 4 minutes. Race Course - Up to the host location's discretion. Eco 400 400 motors (ferrite magnets / all voltages / 28 x 41mm / 2.3mm shaft) 7 x N600AE or N500AR cells (sleeves intact) submerged drive (propellers). Mono 480 Graupner Speed 480 Race 7.2 v - #6330 275gm max battery weight* Mono Open 275gm max battery weight* Hydro 480 Graupner Speed 480 Race 7.2 v - #6330 275gm max battery weight* Hydro Open 275gm max battery weight* *packs shall be removable and still functional as raced for weighing - without desoldering (all wires and/or connectors attached) Additional Specs - No length or overall weight limits in any class. The inboard catamarans run with hydros. The outboard tunnels run with the monos. So... A class for beginners, 2 classes that are a motor change away from open, and 2 open classes. Maybe there's something for everybody.
