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.
