Anyway, what is difference in a prototype brushless motor being allowed and yet the new batteries not being allowed until they are approved? There are some awesome new cells available, seems to me like if a prototype motor is allowed, why not a new battery technology as well.
Is that the correct thinking or am I off base to far? Maybe motors should follow the same suit as batteries and only have a once a year approval time. There has to be some consistancy someplace.
take care

The reason why is most have ADD. We focus on motors for a day, then batteries, and a week later tires.
Racing cost money. R&D cost money. There's no arguement that anything cost more to "develope" since we'd have nothing if that was the case.
