Love the fact that you differentiate between the UK and Europe
Just to enter some information about how it's done over here (Germany) the official classed in the DMC (equivalent of your ROAR):
TC Modified - open ESC (boost) and open motors
TC Sport - blinky ESC (as per EFRA rules) and approved 13.5T motors (the list has only 6 legal motors on it)
TC Hobby - blinky ESC (as per EFRA rules) and approved 17.5T motors with
fixed timing and max. FDR of 5.0 (list of approved motors contains only 2 motors)
(All TC classes are run on 2S.)
1/12 Modified - open ESC (boost) and open motors
1/12 Stock - blinky ESC (as per EFRA rules) and approved 10.5T motors (the list has only 6 legal motors on it)
(Both are run on 1S.)
Manufacturers can have their motors approved each year and these approvals stay valid for 3 years. Many of the "motor of the week" manufacturers apparently don't even bother to get their motors approved over here.
Not saying you should do it like we do - just entering some (foreign) information into your discussion.
