Nope, I decided against it due to my class going to crap and the questionable future of my racing. Sux =(

Indeed it is, but when your race day consists of going fishing cuz no one shows up to race against, the best radio on the planet is still wasted money..

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't cordless phones give interferance because most of them run on 2.4 gHz...

2.4ghz devices cannot generate and won't accept interference. They're smart, in that when they go online, they look for an open channel in the 2.4ghz band. If one isn't available, they stay offline till one opens up. That, in turn, means that a newly turned on one will never get on your channel. That's why 2.4ghz is the future.


And no guys, it's not that. I don't win every week, in fact, I've only won once this year. The rest though, are 2nd place. So I'm consistent at least lol The flinching thing is about accurate though. Racing is serious business for me.

yes, thats true, but i would think most cordless phones 'rays' or whatever you want to call them, would get stopped at the insulation of the house wall...saying as i dont think most people use their phone outside...

nope, they'd pass right through. It's a wave btw. Sound travels in waves. Light, on the other hand travels in rays AND waves. I've even read some data that indicates light can travel in PARTICLES too. Hard to say for sure though. Rays and waves have been proven, particles haven't that I'm aware of..

little science geek sidetrack here.. Did you know that MIT, I think, managed to capture and "Freeze" a laser beam? They developed a gel matrix that can capture and "hold" a laser beam in place indefinitely... Kinda like shining a flashlight through Jello, and it stays lit after you turn the light off.. Imagine the power storage possibilities that represents? Forget lipo, make mine laser powered!

How does a lightning bolt differ from a laser beam? Both are supercharged particles (hmm?) of light.. If they can grab a laser beam, they could grab a lightning bolt.. The problem comes from releasing it. The report I read said they were still trying to figure out how to let it go with control. It's friggin light, it moves kinda fast..

Sorry to bring up a conflict w/ ya speed, but either not all phones are smart or mine's just dumb because in my wireless internet (2.4ghz) network kinda kicks people off when someone turns on the phone.


JB

PS. Can you get me a link to something online about that gel? thats pretty crazy

That is a sweet lil radio there. And speed that is some insane lightcapturing stuff there man! BTW wouldnt light need to be in particle form in order to capture it? Because unless the gel was dense enough wouldnt it just pass through it? That link would be nice...

Maybe its time to take up a diffrent class for a short while SM, i mean all those others that left still have there kit sat around they will soon be back, why not just enter into a diffrent class for a bit and then sell of the new kit when intrest returns and go back to what you do best?

Regards

just outta curiosity, where'd you read that?
Light is energy, btw...and you can't have energy transfer without a medium (i.e. matter), so how would you have light WITHOUT it being particulate?

Revs, the only option is a nitro class, and for me, that isn't an option.

I wish I had the link guys. I read about the gel thing 3-4 years ago. Sadly, I didn't save it =\ I'll try to find it.

T-Bird, you are correct, which is why I put the (hmm?) in there. I've always read that light is either a ray or a wave, but no one ever really mentions it as a particle.

Thats what my wireless 'wi-fi' router works on... wonder if there on like the same kinda new system... If so I can pick up signals from my router across the street and its down here in my basement. Thats got to be awsome for r/c!
