They have done a fabulous job of keeping us out of the market with the delays. Everyone just threw motors out that do not meet the current rule proposal for multiple reasons and really put a kink in the whole try to make them equal goal. IT is going to be interesting to watch it play out.
All the motor brand names were invited to participate in the ROAR brushless motor committee. None offered much in terms of technical input and so we ended up with a partial specification for the Novak as a set of proposed rules. None of the current motors being sold meet these rules due to magnet diameter and I suspect wire size and number of strands. This includes all the brands buying from ‘the supplier’. No one has made any effort to keep things fair or equal. It is more of a get to market quick and deal with it later… at the expense of you all.
We are trying to do what is right long term for everyones sake.

Thanks for the thorough explanation! I can see the dilemma. Its definately a weird time in RC and we have a bunch of "chicken and egg" syndrome going on.
