Just got back from Evansville. I watched Chuck Hildreth pilot the new Vegas Deuce to a dominating performance in completely stock form. All respect to Chuckie for denying the first place trophy and allowing my son to take third overall. The new Deuce is faster than all of the other RTR boats. However the driver was also extremely experienced and the combination of the two was too much to overcome. The RTR class is growing and will be evolving over the next few years. Congratulations to Hobbico for continuing to update and innovate their hulls.
Since there has been so many changes to this new boat, maybe we should consider having RTR sport at least in district 14 similar to the way we run B sport tunnel. Here are my suggestions for the class:
Stock motor in any current or past production of this boat
Stock pipe from any production version (any pipe the manufacturer introduces as either a production item or hop up part from them)
Stock turn fin from any production version
Stock rudder " " " "
Any prop
Front sponson modifications in ride pad area allowed to allow competitiveness with all production versions of the hulls.
I think if we keep this light and rule limited we can develop a class of boats that will allow changes with time and keep those with previous versions of the hull competitive. Each district can set their own rules for classes that are not specifically layed out -- like RTR. I think we should move forward to develop this class as listed above and with recommendations from other fellow boaters.
