I believe the D3 and the D3.5 are different motors and need different approvals. The D3.5 itself wouldn't be illegal, but I don't know if it was ever given approval status or not. (The only D3.5 version motor w/ legality concerns was the 17.5 version)

I don't believe ROAR has outlawed the TURNIGY or other IMPORT brand motors that don't have a ROAR approval, I believe they either have never been submitted, and/or don't meet criteria needed for approval (not available in retail stores or what ever the other criteria may be)

Do you know and this is a game or are you asking for information?

I'm pretty sure that is a cross tire. I have to look at an old magazine when I get home to know for sure.

If you are going to purchase a motor, recommendation is to go with the Kill Shot, not the D3.5 for 2.15....

When are they back in stock? I still don't have a set yet. I guess I don't need them until the year rolls over, but still I would like to have them glued up an get a feel for them.

I only got to test them, as there was no racing here, but they worked well, and were at least as fast as the X-patterns on our medium-sized track with CRC carpet. They will probably be faster once I get the gear ratio changed to match the smaller diameter.
