Handouts/spec worked just fine in the brushed days. Sure they were cheaper but you can't really say that it failed in that era.
Only thing I can say to oppose this, is the new ROAR rule to help this from happening was just put in place. Why don't we wait and see if the rule helps the "motor of the month" stuff? As for the brushed days, when I came back from a race, my brushed motors went in the box and my "good" motor came out. I got to do something to "try" to keep up with Drew, lol.
