I don't know, I've never been there.

like i said if they cant enforce the simple 1c charge rating for lipos why bother with the color of the endbell

All the more reason to point such useless rules out. If you cannot (or don't intend to) enforce a rule, then get rid of it. Having rules and just collectively choosing to ignore them is kinda stupid, TBH.

This table is incredible. I know that Americans are not used to the metric system, but seriously...

Then let me advise you that at a ROAR event, if the part is not approved the RMT tech team would be able to exclude that motor from competition. You can also rock up to tech with a mod motor rotor in a spec motor can and you won't be able to race that either. That's what tech inspection is for.

That's what tech inspections should be doing, but they're regularly allowing the non approved parts at large ROAR events.

there's 3 main electric events where this could be an issue, off road electric nats and on road carpet and asphalt.. Which race were you at that you saw illegal parts allowed?

I wasn't there but I've been told they're allowing the black endplate. It's not on the approved list and rule 8.4.2.3 requires resubmission if the end plate is a different colour. Earlier in this thread there's a screenshot of you telling someone else via private message that it's allowed. Perhaps you weren't aware that it's a different colour, and it's not just top percentage parts.

Told by who?

Everyone in this thread telling me I'm wrong about the different coloured part being illegal, using it passing ROAR tech as evidence of me being wrong.

If you're asking for that evidence of it passing and you haven't told me my reading of the rules is incorrect, does that mean you believe that a Trinity motor that's not using the stock blue end plate should fail tech?

No, who told you that non approved parts are being allowed regularly at ROAR races? Which races?

If you need some specific usernames, they are mrreet2001 and bertottius (claims he ran one at a ROAR Nationals in the Trinity sub forum, didn't specify which year). Marcos.J mentioned that other rules aren't being enforced, such as the charge rate. Let's assume they gave me false information and Trinity Certified endbells have not been passing tech. If one presented at tech in front of you with a different coloured endbell (violates rule 8.4.2.3), would you pass or fail it? Note that it's not just the certified endbell that Trinity has that violates that rule, they have orange and pink cosmetic variants available separately that aren't on the approved list.

I heard painting any lexan TC body with Tamiya PS1 will also be illegal 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Only in the State of California.
