LiPo Rules and Rules Background

Throughout the years of the past IIC, we have watched our industry go through some changes in the equipment we use and the IIC has always lead the way in trying to do what we think is right for the racer as well as our industry. First it was Brushless Motors that came to our racing world and when not everyone was embracing them, we did and had the first major brushless event. Then we saw the onslaught of Lipo Batteries and the racing world looked at the IIC to see what we were going to do with Tech procedures, Safety requirements and allowances to allow racers to use this new technology. Then we were the first event to do a Handout Brushless motors and a huge success that was. Now another huge change is on the horizon of the racing world and after months of testing and input from many of the manufactures involved, We have made the decision that for all the 1/12th classes and both WGT classes we will only allow the 1 cell Lipo batteries making this years IIC the first all LIPO Event ever. There is no argument that Lipo Batteries are here to stay and a majority of the racers in the on road world have made the switch to these batteries and it is only a matter of time before the 1 Cell Lipo becomes the norm for pan classes. So we think this is the perfect time to bring this great advancement in batteries for pan cars to the IIC.

Lipo packs will be teched as your first step of the technical inspection process. Your Lipo pack can be no warmer than 110° F. Voltage will also be checked and a maximum of 8.44V is allowed. For 1 Cell Lipo, maximum voltage is 4.22V. If you fail either of these two steps you will fall out of line and have to correct this and then fall back in at the end of the line.

Body Rules

190mm touring bodies are allowed for sedan classes.

Lightweight bodies ARE allowed.

Ultra-lightweight bodies are NOT allowed. That means .020" bodies are NOT LEGAL.

For sedans we will be checking that the wing is no higher than the roof, and the rear of the body must be intact and cut on the trim line to include the rear bumper.

Since this is an international event, there may be other motors that are used in other parts of the world that may not be listed above. If this is the case we will inspect these motors at the event to ensure that they meet all specifications.

Rotor Rules for 17.5, 13.5, and 10.5 Classes

External shaft diameter must be 0.125inches (3.175mm). Only one piece, two pole Neodymium sintered, or Ferrite (Ceramic) magnetic rotors are permitted. The magnet length shall be 25.0 +/- 1.00mm not including any non-magnetic balancing material. The magnet outside diameter shall be a maximum of 12.51 mm, no tolerance, for the entire length of the magnet. The shaft outside diameter, where the magnet is mounted, shall be 7.25 +/- 0.150mm for the entire length of the magnet. This dimension must be measurable without destroying the rotor.

Fans: 1 fan with a maximum size of 31mm will be allowed on all cars.

Aftermarket heat sinks will be allowed to be run on motors.

Tire Rules

Jaco Blue compound tire is the Official Rubber tire for the 2009 IIC. These tires will be handed out and sold during Registration on Monday Sept 7th starting at Noon. We will have practice tires as well as race tires for sale at the event. Only tires received in your goodie bag or tires purchased at the event are allowed.

For World GT, Jaco will again be providing the unique Graphite carbon looking rim for the WGT class. These also are the only tires allowed in this class. Either your set received in your goodie bag or purchased at the event are the only tires allowed.

To ensure everyone understands that we are working to keep things as even and as fair as possible. For the 5th year in a row, Corally "Jack the Gripper" is the only tire additive allowed at the IIC.

Also to clean your tires, only Motor Spray is allowed to clean your tires. No other additive or chemical is allowed. So to make it very simple. Only Motor Spray and Jack the Gripper are the only chemicals/ liquids that are allowed on your tires.

Who says you can't make the A Main?

Now that we have all the run time we need with Lipo Batteries and we just plug them in and go we will be incorporating something a bit new to this years IIC. There is a Carpet Oval race series called the BRL which is organized by Sonny Brown. He started a particular format in the BRL that we ran during our BRL Race at Trackside and we thought this would be a great thing to do at the IIC so here it is. The Lucky Dog award. This will be used for all divisions. We will take the Top 9 qualified drivers from qualifying and they will make the A Mains. The 10th spot will be filled with the driver from the lower mains with the fastest overall time of the lower mains. So just because you qualify in the C main, does not mean you cannot make the A main, If your time that you win your main with is faster than all other winning times in the other mains within your division. You will transfer to the 10th position in the A main. This is a great idea that Sonny came up with and I know it will add so much excitement come main day.

Class Registration Information

We will again be doing registration live online, which will go live June 7 at 8 PM EDT (5 PM PDT; 12 AM GMT/UTC).
