    NAMBA P-LIMITED Motor List - Pro Boat Motors NO LONGER AVAILABLE

    As of now, the Pro Boat line of Motors that are currently listed as legal NAMBA P-LIMITED motors are NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

    From what I can tell, of the listed motors, the ONLY motor now available to purchase new (from the manufacturer) for P-LTD is the AQ UL-1 2030KV motor. I tried searching for the 1500KV SV27 motor, but I don't see it as available on Tower. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

    BTW, the 2000 motor that comes in the Veles and the UL19 is not NAMBA legal but is still available. Although they look the same, the motors from the list are not manufactured by the same company that makes the 2k for Proboat. The company that made the old 1500/1800's is not making motors any longer. My understanding.

      The list is dwindling. Time for change.

              Unrelated to limited exactly. What are the ERCU boys going to do? They have zero 10th scale motors at this point that are legal from the book.

              We've been tossing around running them on the size spec and forget it. The 1500 was the go to but if ya can't get it anymore. It's not like we have hundreds of them.

                I agree for stability of the class some change in needed ASAP. Hard to promote new racers with the present options. We are entering the 2019 season shortly. Who actually makes the list? Can a committee update the current list or does it require proposals and a membership vote? Right here OSE sells a variety of 3660 size motors at reasonable prices yet they are not legal. (TP, Leopard, SSS).

                  Has to be voted on in NAMBA. Typically after being run for a year.

                      You should be able to leave yer flame suit at home Brian. We all know what the right thing to do is. Multiple locals are already running it with almost no controversy. Should be a no brainer at this point.

                            Hey Guys.... LOL

                            You won't be hearing from me on this.
                            No IMPBA, No NAMBA, and No MMEU.
                            I have no place to discuss this what so ever since I will no longer be racing with any organizations.

                            But I'm sure NAMBA will get it right... at least they understand they need rules in the books in order to give out National Championship titles.
                            Have fun with that....

                              My understanding is that, after realizing what can be done inside of a 62mm or even the 61.2mm can that I originally suggested (based on measuring all of the potential motors we were testing), the limits are being proposed at 37mm x 60.0mm. LOTS of motors available in this range. ALL of the current P-LTD Motors fit inside this range. One would think this would do the trick. One should also be certain that some won't be happy with it. Can't make everyone happy.
