Acknowledging concerns about the availability of motors for 1/10 scale under ERCU’s current rulebook, the Competition Committee has met and issued Competition Directive 2026-02 in an attempt to help ease concerns.
The directive reads as follows: For the remainder of the 2026 ERCU racing season, 1/10 scale motor kv ratings of up to 2050kv (manufacturer’s rating) with testing to not exceed 2100kv. After the end of the 2026 racing season, the Competition Committee will meet to suggest a permanent rule change. This way members are legal with motors that they have and further discussion, after the season, will be informed by data and observations from the remainder of the season. Enforcement: Club inspectors will continue to inspect and test movor kv ratings and results as they have been throughout the season. Members may also voluntarily request motor inspections and testing. The current rules also allow for random motor testing at any time, which may also be enforced at any given time. As a reminder, all Competition Directives issued by the Competition Committee during the course of a season automatically become proposals for the committee to consider during the process of offseason rules review. |
