Reedy 25.5 spec removal

December 6, 2023

After an investigation and obtaining samples from three separate hobby stores, ROAR has found that some Reedy SP5 25.5 motors do not meet the minimum stator stack length requirement of 19.7 mm (Rule #11.3.7.5).  Even though most are 100% within spec, some are not.  Any modification of motor configuration or materials, following ROAR approval, is not allowed (Rule #11.3.2.4).  Therefore, ROAR will be removing the Reedy 25.5 from the approved list effective at Noon (PST) on Friday, December 20, 2023.  Once the manufacturing issue has been resolved, ROAR will require Reedy to submit the motor for new inspection and approval (Rule #11.3.2.3).  In addition, ROAR has asked Reedy to add a laser etched – “A” to the resubmitted motor so that it can be easily distinguished from the previously approved version.
