REVISED BATTERY OVER-VOLTAGE RULE
August 15, 2022
ROAR will implement a new rule for situations where a racer presents a vehicle for pre-race technical inspection and the battery voltage exceeds the allowable 4.20 volts per cell. This rule will take effect immediately and be used at the 2022 Electric Offroad 10th Scale Dirt Nationals.
The new rule reads:
Racers who present vehicles at pre-race technical inspection with a battery voltage up to 0.02v per cell over the maximum voltage listed in 8.3.2.5.2 will be given one opportunity to reduce the voltage or to replace the battery with one within the voltage limits. Racers must leave the inspection area and rejoin the inspection line while replacing batteries or reducing voltage. In no case will the start of a race be delayed due to a racer using this provision. Racers who present vehicles at pre-race technical inspection with a battery voltage greater than 0.02v per cell over the maximum voltage listed in 8.3.2.5.2 will be disqualified from that round of racing. Racers who use the option of reducing voltage or replacing the battery and fail on their second attempt will be disqualified from that round of racing.
