This looks trick, and 10 turn roar rule for mod racing, so why make motors lower than 10 for onroad?

We use nothing lower than a 9*3 here in OZ but different rules for different countries. I personally use a 8 single or a 8 double for Mod.

Well like it was mentioned earlier since most club level races dont have a motor limit people do buy lower turn motors. I don't know about you guys, but I do most of my racing at the club level.

Try Stormer Hobbies I recently purchased some equipment from them and it seems they stock just about everything you need for electric cars.

When Orion first annouced that they were going to develop the V2, they claimed than they would do it with square wire. Now that it is eventually coming to shops in the "near" future they don't mention this at all. Have they opted to stay with the conventional round wire?

He doesn't profess to know anything, he's just saying what he uses. What's with the abuse?

Chill out JohnA. I personally know MRIMPACT, race with him (he did begin racing electric 2 weeks ago), and he and I have bagged each other quite a bit on various forums (good natured too). I think he can take the joke.
