Shortening (cutting) Rotor Shafts
Looking through the ROAR rules I was unable to confirm if it is allowed to cut/trim the rotor shaft on a spec motor. Anyone know for certain? What if cutting the shaft removes some of the manufactures labeling (such as the 4 bars on TSR's) - is it still legal?

All of the etching was still intact, nothing was said at the race
I'm not 100% sure what would be said if some of the etched writing was removed.
I can contact ROAR and get their input on this.

There is no minimum length on the rotor shaft, but there are rules about "removing material" from a motor.
I think what it will come down to is if the tech person is a prick or not...lol...
The only problem you may have is if you are at a ROAR event.

Okay, thank you. It sounds like the rules are not intended to limit the racer in this regard so I'm not going to worry about... but I'll keep an eye out for pricks.

I am at the IIC for on-road this week. Is there a TS rep here? Thanks.

Our WGT-R practice heat mistakenly went on for 7-8 minutes and we hit temps over 177F degrees. Motor seemed slow after that.

Have a fan on it now; but, driving with it pretty much full throttle.
