Yes! But why split 1/10th pan from 1/12th pan?
We're racing r/c cars, not r/c wings. People get turned on to the cars by the way they look (hence the popularity of touring cars nowadays, instead of buggies).
I'd much rather race a car that looks like a current racer, than something which grips a bit better, but looks like a wedge (Parma Speed 8 for example). That's why you need rules, to stop the blatantly imaginary shells from being raced.
Until the Bentleys got released, the current 1/12 cars looked like Group C or toj cars that haven't been raced for over 10 years.
I'd like to see seperate wings like the current Le Mans cars run as well.
And the 1/8th scale guys should take heed too...
