Why would they want to spend R&D to produce something with no differentiation other than the amount the brand can carry? We should expect ROAR to go from one to the other. They desperately need to move to avoid becoming irrelevant. It hasnt happend because Novak chose to promote the older design which is all they have vs change to rpm/kv.
I suspect as soon as novak decides to produce such a design ROAR specs will change, not before then. This is very obvious to the racing community.
I would like to see these questions answered as well.
