you do know the 17.5 is the stock motor per roar rules now, and the 13.5 is now considered a 19T motor. Check out the roar website for the rules update. also you know that hardcased li-pos are now roar legal Right? They have a list of approved lipos posted on the roar website also.

Sure do...But I don't make the rules...I'm just a racer trying to get the word out about the race...

We have been following the rules at ROAR and were actually a test program running 13.5s in stock and also LIPOs with their permission last year. The results were relayed back to them and we would like to think that in some small part we helped get "the ball rolling" to get these items approved.

As per the rule book, it also states that any group running local club races can admend or modify the rules to what that group wants. The 13.5 was chosen for stock last year and instead of making everyone buy new equipment, we deceided to to use them again this year. As the rules above said, we run stock and pro-stock. By not making stock run the 17.5, when someone wants to (or gets asked to due to performance) move up to pro-stock, they will not have to go out and buy a new motor. At this point all they would need to do is purchase the sinister upgrade saving them some money.

Basically the 13.5 was chosen to save people money in the long run.

yeah , but if your going to have to change over any way why not get it over and done with?

The stock class is for entry level drivers only. They can purchase the bonded rotor 13.5 and run this class. If (or when) they are winning every race or show that they do not belong in this class , they can be moved up to pro-stock. Now atthis point they can run the motor exactly the same as before. But as you know, they would be at a disadvantage against a sinister rotor 13.5. Pro-stock allows for any mod on the 13.5 and also for brushed motors. People who do not want to run brushless can add bearings to thier favorite brushed motor if they want to.

By keeping the standard 13.5 as the brushless choice, it saves from having to buy 2 different motors (17.5 for stock and then 13.5 for pro-stock) when that person had progressed to "the next level".

Yes, Mark as the reasons we went this direction. And we posted the rules before the new rules came out from ROAR. We got approval to run BL and Lipo for the Reg 6 on-road races and submitted the results back to ROAR. They used this information in a meeting they held plus many experts input. It is what it is for the 2008 season and most of the racers are very pleased with running these rules...

Look at this way, you will have a 13.5 motor for super stock in 2009... ;-)
