why does Bob not tell ROAR to get bent and either approve more motor's and ESC system's that comply with the rule's or we meaning Novak will stop making are motor ROAR compliant or just plain and simply just focus on the backyard basher setup`s.
If you can not answer for Bob why Novak won`t just stop making ROAR compliant motors and focus on other thing`s please don`t cop out and just say something like I can not answer for Bob then please ask him and pass it along or if Bob won`t saying anything on this matter then that will give me all the info I need.  |
One of your suggestions here seems to be that if Novak is not completely happy with the existing ROAR motor rules, we should just pick up our marbles and go home. Or, hold our breath until we turn blue?
Maybe you could explain just why we would stop making motors that conform to the rules----I'm not getting your point. Novak sensored motors were specifically designed (by Novak, from the ground up) to be acceptable to racers competing in ROAR-type, 6-cell events.
You seem to believe that Bob has waay more authority over ROAR than he does or, even, wants. Also, Bob does not feel that the existing rules are hurting the hobby or racers. These rules actually seem to be working quite well. ROAR has published rules for both BL Modified racing and BL Stock racing. I do not see the Stock BL rules changing anytime soon.
The entire goal of the restrictive BL stock rules is limiting the variation in all motors sold to stock racers (for ROAR sanctioned events). Therefore, a specific wind motor (17.5) from one company should have virtually the same performance as the same wind motor sold by a competitor. This is designed to "level the playing field", take stock motor variation out of the racing equation and limit the "motor of the month" mentality.
Where motor rules may be expanded is in the Modified BL motor category. If you check any of my previous statements, you will probably notice the word "modified" is used. Companies interested in an expansion of the rules to include other designs know what the ROAR procedure is.
It is the responsibility of the company (ies) desiring the change to submit a formal proposal to ROAR (and the standing BL motor committee) detailing their proposed changes. It is not Novak's responsibility to undertake the project to convince the BL motor group to alter the existing mod rules.
