The other school feels that racing is racing and should include chassis, tires, driver, and MOTOR. This all should be equal BS just give me a pain. We have to run a Spec tire over here for TCS. There's this constant drumbeat for making everything equal----first motors and tires. Almost everyone runs the same tires and setup cause as soon as you find a good combination, it's copied. The perfect solution for the all should be equal crowd would be to do their race meetings on a computer game. All would be equal and it would be all about driver skill which is a sentiment I hear expressed often.

I'm glad almost everyone where you are likes the conversion to the Hobbywing. I think they're a fine system. They are not readily available here tho and there are some bootleg systems being sold online.
