I am thinking of getting in on VTA aswell

what are the rules on motors and lipo's?

Hobby Hangout

Motor Specifications:
Option 1: 27-turn ROAR stock motor: No FDR limit, bearings are not allowed.

Option 2: 17.5 brushless: Motor timing advance is allowed. 12.5 mm rotor diameter maximum (no "tuning" rotors are allowed).

Option 3: 21.5 brushless with 2C LiPo: Novak SS21.5 Pro brushless motor (pn:3421) ONLY combined with any ROAR-approved hard-cased 2C 7.4v LiPo pack up to and including 5000 mAh capacity. Novak motor is the ONLY motor allowed at this time, because there are no ROAR mandates or restrictions for the 21.5 brushless motors. All house track rules regarding LiPo usage apply. Final drive ratio is to not exceed 4.2. Motor timing advance is allowed. 12.5 mm rotor diameter maximum (no "tuning" rotors are allowed).

Suggested gearing FDR recommendations:

* 27t brushed/4-cell: 5.4 - 5.7 FDR
* 17.5 brushless/4-cell: 3.5 - 3.7 FDR
* 21.5 brushless/LiPo: 4.2 - 4.6 FDR

Tracks should not dictate which motor combination a racer should choose. All three motor/battery combos have been tested to compete evenly against one another in competition with great success. If any one power choice shows a definitive advantage at a certain track, it is up to the race management to even the racing out via suggested gearing changes.


Battery Specifications:
4 cell NiCd or NiMh batteries, 4600 mAh limit
2 cell ROAR-approved LiPo hard cased, 5000 mAh limit (21.5 brushless motor option ONLY)

Suggested gearing FDR recommendations:

* 27t brushed/4-cell: 5.4 - 5.7 FDR
* 17.5 brushless/4-cell: 3.5 - 3.7 FDR
* 21.5 brushless/LiPo: 4.2 - 4.6 FDR

just cant go below 4.2....example 4.0

depend on track size and layout 4.5 is a good starting point
