We are using ROAR as a guideline ONLY.. Our Biggest concern is Blinky/Stock Classes as this is where most of the Rule infractions seem to be coming from. 8.4v and TRUE Blinky Mode. We have always ran an open Motor program in 4x4 and Mod Classes and don't foresee that changing anytime soon.
Keep the Voltage at 8.4v and the ESC in a Legal Blinky Mode and there will be no problems..
So using roar as a guideline, will weight and width also be checked? If you're going to check battery voltage, you mite as well have a motor tear down check before the the races like leisure hours does as well. Don't threaten to tech and then not do so, because a lot of time is put in by a lot of us to make sure we're at those min/max marks. Not to down the Trackside crew, but during the entirety of Spektrum week, two out of the 140 or so blinky entries were teched.
