The Hobbywing as Spec everything is not the answer to every cost saving motor problem, and to assign every profit margin to only one company surely violates anti trust laws or at least the principles of free market enterprise, not to mention the systematic killing of innovation, etc.... Motor Communism should not rule in all classes or else you'll alienate a real big percentage of the industry.....Sure , a spec class should be available but that should not be all that's available ! Roar Rules are there for every company out there, not just Hobbywing ! Look at what happened to Novak. Imagine if Novak had their motors as Spec for every class: what a disaster that would have been.....You want cost cutting? Stop buying the new motor of the week, learn setup, and practice until you can TQ and win.....
