Will definately look into getting one, once money isn't as tight as it is right now.

As for the ROAR approved motors:
If I were bound by regulations, I couldn't run the CC 1410 even if I wanted.
Since I'm in Europe/Germany, it would need to be EFRA/DMC legal and the CC isn't.


Anyhow:
Received my RS Pro last week and got my Leopard motor today.
The Leopard is a LBP3650 2.5Y 2930kV 4-pole. Initially I wanted a 4D or 4.5D (eventually chose the 4.5D), but those aren't available. Then I found the 2.5Y NIB for 48€ with free shipping (currently ~68$US) on ebay, and since the kV rating wasn't that far away from the 4.5D I got that one.
As far as I can tell, this is a very nice motor.
Didn't find much tracktion on the track today, but it has tons of power.
Combined with the RS PRO it runs faster(even geared ~1mph slower than previous), longer and cooler than the Nosram matrix power reverse - LRP X12 13.5t combo as well.

All I've left to do now is to wait for my hotwire, tighten the slipper a bit more and maybe gear it down a bit.
And most important: somehow manage to find some more tracktion!

Even if limited, if you run mod SC you could run the 1410/3800kv. It was designed by castle, to be the most motor in the restrictions of the 540 motor case design. If i were to get a xl, i'd go with 3000kv or lower, i hear the xl is an amp hog in higher kv's.
