At High Desert Raceplace, the Slash with 13.5s are allowed to run with stock slashs and they have just one big huge class, and they are allowing proline tires now too. And soon enough the SC10's are going to run in the class as well. No word on what motor is going to be required in the SC10 to run with the Slashes, but I assume it is still gonna be a 13.5.

And once again the point is missed. Well at least I can put $80 dollar tires and a $50 motor in my slash and maybe compete. But I better get the $85 chassis and $75 shocks also.

It is just unfair to have one manufacturer for one class. Soon enough I bet Losi, Kyosho, etc... will all have CORR trucks and then now what? We gotta run em all together anyway.

We do have a straight run what you brung electric novice class and they can run together but the novice slash is for slash only, as the name implies.
I suspect though it is more sour grapes on your part, once again traxxas beat everyone to the punch with a better product at a way better price.

I don't get it, it seems that a bunch of the guys don't want to just add a class for modded slashs and the sc10s. They want to eliminate the spec slash. They just seem to have a problem with that class, and it seems it's been good for lhs and tracks.

Yes and then it will be called a corr class and each track will have to set the rules.
At my track the spec slash class has done great because they are CHEAP, TUFF & EVEN. Now all the others maybe tuff but I aint seen one cheap yet and it is hard to kep different trucks even.
It all boils down to track have to do what their racers want. Lots of ares come from oval where they were used to spec cars so they embraced the slash spec class. Also the novice have loved it because it controls cost.

Plus, the newbie kids that you referred to aren't gonna know the difference between a Slash and an SC10 anyway. To them, they all look like CORR trucks, so why would they get scared away?

the solution is WHEN the other big guys (kyosho, losi, etc) come up with their own 1/10 electric, that the slash spec class will merge onto the a beginner's class racing.
then you have a middle group that's either running non stock motors. or have won enough races in the beginners class.
then you have the open group... run what you brung.

A 10.5T brushless is no faster than the stock Titan motor, so there's no advantage there. The SC10 chassis is somewhat of an advantage, but unless you're running on a perfect bluegroove indoor clay track, that isn't gonna help you THAT much.

As for the SC10 advantage, I agree driver usualy win not the truck but a better truck does help a better driver and the real problem isn't real advantage it is percived advantage.
If the guy winning is running a certain car, battery, esc, motor ect... then most think that it is a advantage, weather it is or not. I have seen it too many times. Plus if you think kids today aren't perceptive you must not have any, they are the first to pick up on differences between the winners car and theirs!!!

If little Johnny wants to race his SC10 against other trucks like his, why would anyone turn him away?
