Points or trophy races, separate classes.

Anybody saying they are the same b/c a buggy is a buggy is really stretching it.

I also agree with the guys who spend $$$ on engines and stuff to go club race the kids with the mach .26 also are not so good for the hobby. But that's just how it is, but it's not cheating.

Until they have enough numbers to have their own classes I have no problem running with them for club races. More the merrier.
Point taken, but I think you might have picked the wrong motor for an example. The Losi/Sportwerks .26 is a great motor. It gives up a tiny bit of top end power to my VSPEC, but makes up for it with low RPM torque. The disadvantage is has is fuel mileage.
