Well, let's see. In the last couple of months, we have released our new platform, Ballistic Mod wind motors, 5 Havoc Spec/Sport systems, Goat Crawler 3S esc, SmartBoost for 1 cell racing, The Dig for Dual Crawlers, a buncha rotors, and soon the Ballistic Spec wind motors.

After these releases, we still have more cool stuff in the pipeline....

thats what i was getting at. stuff that can keep up with the mmm and rx8. i have seen hardy any changes in novaks 1/8th scale lineup the hv pro is just a hv maxx with a few extra goodies. lets see some nice 1/8th sensored systems
im in the market

Yes we have been working on a new platform for our 1/8 Buggy/Truggy market for about the last six months. We are in the early stages of testing and things are going well. We will be offering a brand new Speed control with some unique new features and at least two sizes of motor with various Kv ratings that will meet the Roar specs. I can't give a definite delivery date but it will be some time this year.

Good news! Watching "The Big 3" compete for dominance in the 1/8th market is going to be good. Tekin has a good lead on you guys but there are a lot of loyal Novak fans that will be very pleased to get their hands on a more powerful system. No offense but the current HV systems just aren't up to par with the options from Castle and Tekin, I have no doubt the new ones will put up a good fight.

No offense taken. The HV was just a longer version of our 1/10 scale brushless system originally brought out to fill a brushless need for the E- Revo. It sold very well for this application.
We were very busy designing and manufacturing systems for the Crawler market and got a little behind the curve bringing out the bigger System for the 1/8 market but we plan on catching up in a hurry. The HV systems with the new 14mm rotor still work very well on small indoor tracks where you don't need the brute power the bigger motors have.

This part kinda made me grimmace a little...anyone have thoughts on what being Roar spec might entail? IMHO, ROAR still has some catching up to do with the technology.

Actually, the Castle 2200kv motor is the only 1/8th scale brushless motor that shows as being approved by ROAR.

The Existing Roar rules simply try to standardize motor specs such as Max Length 77mm, max Stator dia 39mm, mounting holes at 1.00" (25.4mm) and a 5mm or 1/8"output shaft. These rules allow everybody to build both cars and motors that will fit each other. These rules were formulated with the input of most all the Brushless motor manufacturers that are involved with R/C cars.
Give credit were credit is due. I think Roar does a great job in making these kind of rules so that everybody isn't going in different directions.

Any 6s+ controllers in the works with motor kvs to match?

Also, this is more of a design question, but it seems the current HV series stuff is designed to run at high rpms. Is there a particular reason for that decision? Being sensored, I would think that lower rpms would be just fine, and there would be less strain on parts (bearings, rotor, etc) if it was spinning at the typical 35-40k rpm range. Not knocking your stuff or anything, just curious.

The reason the HV motor has such high Kv's is that it is a three slot motor and three slot motors are by their nature higher Kv motors. A 12 slot motor will have about 1/4 the Kv of a 3 slot motor. The bigger 1/8 motors out now are all 12 slot motors. They are more time consuming to wind and there for more expensive. The new motor that we are working on is also a 12 slot motor.
