Mainly as current ROAR rules say you can only have
2 magnets in your motor, not 4 or more.

Think Reedy prefers to build race-legal donks, not "outlaw" junk for backyard bashers.

now i know this may seem a little frankesteinish but aren't YOKOMO, TOP , and ATLAS all related in some way? ....

There are only a handful of motor (parts?) contract manufacturers
in the world, a lot of them are in Japan. These manufacturers
would certainly make parts for several different companies, and
the less they have to change between components the easier it
is for them - less to rejig on the production line.

Top and Yokomo motors come from the same company in japan....not sure about atlas, but they look pretty similar so I would not doubt it....the company that makes Epic motors, only makes stuff for trinity and thats it....they have an exclusive deal.

its a shame that the colbolt didnt go into production b/c i think itb would have been more revolutionary then anything out there now.

Futureal, your forreal and that is what it's all about say what
is real and keep it that way, well said.

well, from you-know-where these are often mentioned:

Sagami

These are the companies in Japan who make motors for r/c cars.
