Spec class motors

Pat,

Any luck with a Roar Spec or stock class motor, or is that a no-go? For 2010 the laminations didn't have shape restrictions, but you probably know more than me for 2011.

What would you consider a proper application for them? Is the thermal pathway a big enough consideration to give them an advantage on reliability or heat sinking?
