Hot motor these days is the Team Powers Actinium.
Rubber tire - we use Jaco Blues, which we sell at the track for $25/set.
blinky speedos - yes.
For our normal club racing, as long as you are using blinky and the right motor (ie, 17.5 in the 17.5 class), we are pretty chill. The only time I think we really adhere to the ROAR rules is at our big race in April - MHIC.
