ROG: For me it would be a 5.5R and 6.5L as first choice motors with a 5.5L as a soft option for 4wd or a crazy option for 2wd.

MARK: IMO you made correct choice there mate.

DAN: See if you can find a window at some point for drinkies

The "L" motors are not BRCA legal and should not be used at BRCA events. Have you been a naughty boy Brokeback?

Thought some might be interested by this. I swapped out the old faithful 5.5R at Worksop on the weekend for a new 5.5L Novak motor. If you don’t know Worksop it is a cork floor that has good grip but you need to be careful picking up the throttle, even a little in 4wd.

I ran the same gearing in the X5 as I did on the 5.5R and it felt great, a fraction easier at the bottom end but just as fast down the straight. I plan to keep using this motor over the 5.5R in the 4wd next time I’m there and probably the indoor finals.

So I still stand by my statement that in most conditions the 5.5R will be a fit and forget, but as I happen to have a 5.5L I will now likely change out for situations where picking up the throttle can be tricky so wet grass, wet astro, polished floor etc. In fact for anyone that likes a smoother motor (like the brushed triple, quads etc) then you may well prefer this motor anyway and therefore it will be fit and forget.

Dan

While I await a replacement R, I am using an L, and am quite convinced that I will be sticking to L motors at all meetings I can do so. From 1st April I may not even use another R motor, the L just feels so good in 4wd too (although I seem to get it far hotter)

Not til 1st April, so you will not be able to use the L's at THE BRCA REGIONALS at York, Durham and Indoor finals, club meetings you can, and after 1st April (once approved) at every meeting.

Sorry, I have some wrong information in my last post. The Motor list can be updated at any time, it is not refreshed at the 1st April like cells, so I will confirm once L motors approved

I know Charlie (from Novak) is in contact with PW at the moment so they should be added to the list shortly.

Tut tut Chris, how long have you been doing this now?

yeh yeh, I realise I 'should' know but I swear that I never did, and in all the time I have had 1st April in my head (and probably chatted about plenty of times before) nobody has corrected me until earlier today!

Whilst having my daily look at the homologation lists (waiting for the 08 cell list) I happened to look at the brushless motor list and the "L" motors are now legal!!!!

http://www.brca.org/BRCA/elecboard/n...s%20latest.doc


Just thought it might be of interest to somebody
