I have been thinking about adding the new WGT class for next series.
It will be 1s 10.5 with open esc, same as IIC rule.
1s 13.5 Non-Boost ESC.
1s 10.5 Open ESC.
Also, after the TQ Pan Car Grand Prix, WGT tire rule will be the spec tires only(CRC,BSR or JACO).
What do you guys think ?

Also +1 for spec tire for the pan car GP. There really is no reason to not run them now that they are readily available and meet the spec rules that the class was started with.

Yes you are right--some people will want to go faster. But these babies are really fun and VERY challenging to WIN with!! I think eventually we will be able to add a second class with timing and maybe even a hotter motor---but I"d really like to wait and see the class continue to grow before we try any major changes. We're trying to draw newbies into our hobby as well---not just pull from the existing racers--- so this is a PERFECT class for that. Inexpensive and very fun to run!! The cars DO work exceptionally well with minimal setup changes so a newbie can have a good car really easily. That's the attraction over TC 4wd cars---these are cheaper--faster and easier to maintain. Let's GROW first---faster second!!

I think this is a good idea. I think the only thing that needs to be improved is the monitoring of the Spec classes and inforcing the rules. This would include inspection prior to each qualifier and the mains. I know this was done last Sunday for the mains, but it was done during the break prior to all the mains for all the spec classes at the same time, there was plenty of time after to change settings before the later mains. I think before each Spec main, the drivers should check in with the race director or designated inspector and once approved it is put on the track. If it does not pass at that time the driver is Disqualified for that heat or main. No chance to go back to the pits. I would gladly volunteer to help. For these cars, it takes about 5 seconds to inspect tires and ESC. If one person is allowed to cheat, even in a qualifier, it changes the outcome for everyone else in that class for the day.
We want this class to grow. I have never understood the desire to cheat to win. Dabble in the grey areas, but know the line between the black and red areas. Cheating will eventually kill the class. We have all seen this happen in other classes before.

Thanks for the advice.
I did ESC check all together to save the time...
I'm sure nobody was cheating, everybody was running legal esc and settings.
From next round, I'll check the esc before the every round. As Steve said, it won't take a long time.
Hope it makes every racers feel fair
Thanks.

If you would like a complete RTR WGT car---I have a CRC 10X that is complete with some spares and tires--spare bodies. I can let it go for $250 complete!! That's as inexpensive as possible to get started. A new setup--will run your right around $350 to $400 depending on the car you start with.
