Ok so it now appears all but one of the NAMBA approved motors for FE 1/10th scale got discontinued in what seemed to be a blink of the eye. We are trying to get the 1/10th scale class off the ground here in IMPBA D12 for the upcoming season and in a matters of a couple months we went from all to one left. I was urged by some to pattern the motor choices after NAMBA and when I did the initial research it seemed viable as availability was good and prices were excellent. Needless to say this is going to require me to rewrite the part of the rules regarding motors. I have always hated motor "lists" for the very reason of what just happened, I think diameter and length limits are the way to go. Simple, straightforward, easy to understand and tech. With that being said and looking at what's out there comparable and similar in cost (read cheap) to what just got discontinued I'm leaning towards a 36mm x 56mm size limit. Also toying with a 2000kv limit as well but not sold on that one. I would like some feedback on this as I need to make a decision and have the rule set done for our district meeting coming up soon in the new year.
