Krxkion took part in "open" category. Original Lego motors are required to allow us to have possibility to be able to fair comparison between machines. Scale is fine, please have in mind, we are driving mostly trucks. In case of power source, we can use Lego battery boxes, buwizz, mould king, cada, as a transmitter sbrick is allowed as well.

Thanks for clarification, the missing piece of info for me was the existence of the open category :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but If I would use an ESC (electronic speed controller) to communicate with Lego motors - it can be done, using brushed ESC. Would I be still able to compete with you, guys? I could have a battery with lower voltage 2S - 8.4Volts. For steering, I can still use geek-servo or even Lego motor if needed.

Anyway, this is just a wild question, with that low speed I don't mind using Bluetooth connection, as long there will be stable connection. We've seen though problems with that even when we were close to the models, track was small, etc.

Maybe I will bring a new model in open class, maybe something like @gyenesvi built a while ago - Tim Cameron's Tyrant. Improve ground clearance, throw portal axles (or brick-built them) and who knows :D

I am not saying that I will not try to compete with full regulations, just need some time to digest everything. :D

This is question to judges, I'm not one of them. But I think, if you will use Lego original motor, and Voltage will be known, so power can be counted, then it should be fine.
