Why nuts?
It's the electronic equivalent of putting a Model T Ford engine in a formula 1 car. A $10 saddle on a $2 horse.
From a more practical perspective, I think it would be more beneficial to racers in the series to run a spec locked timing brushless motor so racers would better learn about brushless gear, how it works, and how it drives.
I don't know if its a just-for-fun class or a beginner class or a hardcore all-out race class, but if its popular and gets people to come to the track, keep it up.
