I can use another approved motor but of course at additional cost, and the choice of approved sensorless motors is somewhat limited. My point really is that providing the motor is 540 size, there can be no advantage gained almost no matter what the motor is, as out and out speed is no longer a factor given race length and battery technology.

To me anything that opens up the sport to a wider entry level will help get 1/10 to grow back to the level of interest that existed 20 years ago.
this isnt as easy as u think. every manufacture has the opertunity to put forward there products to get tested to see if they fit within the standards of the sport. from there each product is tested to check to see if there safe and wotever else, then the list or aproved equiptment is compiled. some things either arent available in the numbers that are required or the manufacture hasnt tried or the product has failed the tests.

its always a good idea if your planning to do a brca event to look at the list before buying anything to check to see if its on the list. it all helps to try and keep the standards of all cars the same and give ppl equal opertunities, wouldnt be fair for someone to have a one off or anything like that which would produce extremes. the list serves to stop this. u for one appreciate all the work that goes into makin this list, as i know it takes ALOT of time, and effort.
