Re: E-F1: List of Recommended and Approved Components

Trey,
There is no official published list of approved designs. there are many.
I think Jerry Small and/or Dan Kane have their own list. I believe Jerry is one of the Design Approvers.

You would have to contact either these guys and see what they might have for documentation.

Re: NEW! NMPRA Application with Paypal

Yes, you should receive a membership card and NMPRA racing number for your district.

I don't know how long this can take. If you have any concerns, contact our Sec/Treasurer, Lonnie Finch at lfinchpa@sbcglobal.net

Re: E-F1: List of Recommended and Approved Components

Hi Jim, You have a good question there. The Turnigy motor was the first one on the market and samples of the motor were evaluated and approved. I am not aware of the details of who did this or how it was done. The E-F1 rules state the following: "Manufacturers wishing to have a motor approved for co...

The list of approved components that I posted includes the approved ARF's and commmercially available laser cut KITS. This is why you do not see the Shoestrin...
