As far as handout ESC's and batteries, not gona happen anytime soon with the current ROAR management, how would that be fair to ROAR's manufacturing affiliates, or the ROAR membership???? Who would pay for all those esc's, batteries and motors? General membership funds or race entries? You'd have to charge more than entries at the IIC to pay for all that stuff.
So why not allow a 4 or 6 pole sensored motor. Why do they have to be Novak style sensored motors? So let me get this straight. If a ESC manufacturer wants to test a new ESC that's not on the market yet, would you allow their sponsored drivers to test it?
