You raise a good point Granpa, but so far with the brushless setup there is no voodoo that anyone here has found that made their motor into a "red dot".
Myself, being on the rules committee for our series, enjoy looking at the "grey" areas. We don't run TCS rules more anything goes within reason. It gives the racer the chance for ingenuity but can be copied by anyone else. Plus in the long run by not using Tamiya hop ups it does save the racer money.
Mini has more rules than touring mod. How do you know where the line is if you don't cross it every now and then
