ROAR to 4 cell....
Just heard that the EXCOM voted on ROAR going to 4 cell. Don't know how the vote came out yet but, how do you guys feel about the ROAR EXCOM taking upon themselves to make a decision on something of this magnitude WITHOUT consulting the membership?

I was always a bit put off on how the whole brushless thing happend.....and now this. I wonder if ROAR is truly reperesentative of what the membership wants......

That's why we elect people to ROAR. They're the ones we put in there to make decisions like this. If every decision was given to the membership, nothing would get done. As it is every decision ROAR makes is met with dissent on the message boards. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone doesn't like it.

got whoever on the board they get the job done (to a degree) but they do ask members to travel from far away places to the AGM to pass or fail certain things
thing is many want online voting .coz the MAJORITY don`t get to the AGM to vote on things,But the Majority who can be bothered to turn up vote on the racers behalf (And this is where it goes pear shape)
so you got BRCA saying turn up then you can have your vote
you got the racers saying ,can`t afford to travel that far to cast a vote
there`s no middle ground to apease both side`s
so we get the Dissent & moaning on the boards or trackside from both sides ;;blaming each other & not pulling in the right direction & playing the same game
Disclaimer
Don`t split hairs with my post ,it`s just board talk , so we can `ALL` learn something for next time

Obviously I don't understand what the relationship between EXCOM, ROAR and the membership is, but I would imagine their voting procedure is in line with thier own constitution as well.

Maybe it is a ruse, a way for Roar when they do decide to allow lipo's to not meet alot of resistance from racers. If we are racing 4 cells then they add a lipo class racers would go out and buy them without a complaint because they get to go faster again. Or maybe they are going to or already have voted against it.
Regardless, this hobby changes. Different motors, batteries, frequencies, etcetera. I highly doubt the most known approval body in the US would purposely do something to endanger the hobby for the future. It would be self destructive for them.
