What/where is the Horizon race?
I hope it's not in our (region 8) area...
Froboy is about the lone ranger for Losi around here so maybe Horizon will reschedule their race so he can come to the regionals, lol

I'd go to both, but I'd have to take out a loan, and my wife would leave me for sure.

IMO, ROAR needs to wake up and make the motors legal, even if it means re-writing the precious rulebook.
It's MOD class.
Some of us have been running them for more than 2 years now, and it's obvious ROAR has no good reason to deny a stamp of approval.
For what it's worth... Castle did try to dance with ROAR and pretty much got kicked in the teeth, depending on who you ask.

it dont take a roket scientest to figure out that ITS A MOD CLASS!!! so what the heck is the big deal with letting racers use a castle motor? ITS A MOD CLASS!!!! i dont run castle stuff but they should b allowed just cause a ton of guys do run them and in my opinion i think it could hurt the race turnout alittle. i sure wish the rc pro seiries could figure out a way of gettin electric up and going in their seireis i know carlton wouldnt have ay problem with a castle motor. come back to earth roar!!!!!

You would think that if they are smart enough to make a motor, they would be smart enough to know how to mail one for inspection. Every one else figured it out....

That's not the problem....the problem is that the screws that secure the end of the motor screw in from the side, rather than the end, making the motors outside diameter larger than ROAR rules allow. Either the rules would need to be re-written slightly, or Castle would need to put the screws in from the end, rather than the side.

Castle should just change the design. Motor size has been around for 20+ years. I dont think it should matter as far as performance if the can itself is within specs than it should be allowed because the screws sticking out wont be benificial. I am going to try and make it to this race just depends on if we are still working 70 hr weeks than not working weekends. Later
