I thought that I had addressed these questions in an earlier post.

i appreciate your response. Isnt Bob head of the committee?
as an active on-road racer i am interested in the advancement of the technology. the current spec requires everyone to exactly replicate/copy the novak motor design down to the colors of the wires. this is not required to keep the integrity of the inspection process.
this is an older design and frankly when you look at the motors you have listed they are basically identical. yes some of the OEM's have indeed If novskdone this but it isnt moving the sport forward and creating the environment to push the envelope. 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.

Bob is not now, nor has he ever been, head of the ROAR brushless motor committee.
The entire goal of the ROAR stock rules was to nail down the specs so that all motors sold for ROAR stock racing would have virtually the same performance. Any motor sellers, who want to offer motors for stock, have to follow these rules. So far, 8 companies have had their motors approved for Stock racing.
ROAR rules require the specific colors, and sequencing of the sensor wires.
If Novak designs a new motor, we would have to follow the ROAR guidelines for submitting a proposal to amend the existing rules. Then all members of the BL motor committee would have to vote in favor of amending the rules to accommodate our new proposal. Not very likely.
