The first thing we need is a little cooperation, communication and a good understanding of what really effects performance. All the motor manufacturers 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. Most of the current motors being sold do not 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.

Truth be known we are still waiting for the ROAR rules to be decided to make sure we are not almost legal. They have done a fabulous job of keeping us out of the market with the delays. Everyone else just threw motors out 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.

We are just trying to do what is best for everyone long term. We are certainly not going to accomplish fairness by trying to control the most complicated part of the system. Control the motor designs and let them limit the speed of the class.
