brushless/sintered

[mark christopher]

i know sintered are brca legal from april or id not put that in the question, i asked as i was told that off road may not allow them! so please dont lock a post with a genuine question,

Stu's not a muppet stu is a ledgend.

Mark, as mentioned several times, brushless motors legal for BRCA 1/10h off road Sanctioned events (including Regionals) are listed on the BRCA website > Electric Board > Brushless motors homologation list.

I don't see how it could be any simpler. If you have questions about the 1/10th off road rules look in the BRCA Manuel under 1/10th of road, ALL rules are explained in there, if you still have any questions email a BRCA rep, as listed on the BRCA website > 1/10th off road > contact.

Is that ok?

"Jeeez, why am I reading this thread."

oh, sorry, did I say that out loud.

Wow, I just woke up from a nightmare, shouting "April 2nd" at the miss'es :o

[mark christopher]

some one at the weekend at teeside told me that sintered may not be allowed in off road, i have read the book, but its not clear if we can substitute a sintered rotor in a motor that is not supplied with sintered! as you are changing the construction. its also been mentioned on this and other forums with no reply.
ie nosram 6.5 comes none sintered , if i fit a sintered is that legal as its now a hybrid!
Cockerill, why have a forum if all questions need direction of it? especially as this is a BRCA thread??

Mark, the simple answer is that there is no answer yet. We are awaiting a decision from the all knowing one.

It doesn't matter until April anyway.

cheers G
apart from proving my point to stu and cockerill that the answer is not on the brca site

its does matter to me though as i had a rotor go and am replacing with a sintered! i know i can only use it at club meets but if its not allowed at regionals full stop im shafted

I would assume that the companies would have to re-homologate the motor due to a new stack, hence different design. Just like you would have to do for a brushed unit.

thats where the confusion lies
but orin dont have to homlogate each wind just each design, sintered is same dimensions but diff construction, but the eb say they are allowed, and the motor list does not say whether the motor on the list is a sintered rotor or not.
so if you work to the eb list how does the scruitineer know what should be in the presented motor

[DCM]

your not changing the wind though are you, you are changing the construction and parts used in the motor, like swapping arms in a can for one that isn't homologated with, or swapping out a twin mag for a quad mag, hence change in construction.

Mark we all know the decision on this is from Paul Worsley, so why not email him and ask him directly. Paul is excellent at getting back to people and will no doubt give you a very full explanation.

Therefore let's not guess or assume, though you might perhaps copy in a reply from him if/when you have asked him?

[mark christopher]

i dot think he will reply, as at the recent exec meeting it has been reported back to me he had made some unsavory comments about me,(reason unknown) and after being challenged about this fact he stopped replyin to my mails with not explanation as to why he said what he did. maybe he was hoping i would not find out

[Chrislong]

Maybe let whatever it was just rest. Ask him an open question with good cause, and he will give a good answer.

Sorry to regenerate this thread, but a lightbulb just came on, in my room.. no really it did!

With brushed, a motor has to go through homoglation to be aprooved, this year a V2 motor, pavidas i think? is the same as the rest of its series besides it has a different sticker and has yet to be made legal, or has but still had to be homoglated.

Changing the rotor is twice as bad as just a simple sticker.. so in my theorum it'd be named illegal, and or have to be homoglated.

But as said, asked the worsle a question about it, and an answer will be given.
