Re: Battery Buggy B
what's the problem? is it that your buggy doesn't go straight? If you're so concerned you can set it off a little (use a sighting device and set it off from it) to avoid penalties.

Re: Battery Buggy B
When identifying prohibitions in the rules, it's always best to quote the language that states the prohibition. What is the language that requires the vehicle to start on the centerline?danyalukin wrote:No, the rules prohibit it. moreover, you automaticaly loose 20 points bonus.

Re: Battery Buggy B
anyway, aiming the buggy off course would be a better option. Instead of automatically losing the pts, at least you could go for it and you might lose those points but the buggy could veer in the opposite direction before the wheels on the end cross the tape.

Re: Battery Buggy B
There is a post on this forum about it, but generally I think that front wheel breaking (aka a rear wheel powered car) has less skid.
