How is allowing a handout to be taken home and only teched when cheating is suspected, different from the current way of doing things?

All motors are built to certian specified criteria, some are better than others for one of a dozen reasons. But are all essentially the same. They go through tech, and if outside those criteria, are not allowed.

Handout motors will will be no different. Some will be better than others out the box, and you can bet your ass, if someone gets a pig and is allowed to take it home, it will come back with lipstick on it.

All this can-am hand out crap MIGHT work at big races, and a few of the bigger clubs, but it will never work at the small tracks. Most can barely keep a guy willing to do tech and/or run the races. Who the hell is going to keep track of all these motors?

And if already cost me $100 entry PLUS the purchase of a set or two of the spec tires only available at the event, now I have to “rent” a motor. So we are now possibly looking at $150-$200 PER CLASS to race, plus travel/hotel/food? Seems like a great business model to save entice more people to into the hobby 🤦🏻.

And tell me again how all this saves money? I’ve been running the same motors for over a year, and while I may not win every race, my car is on pace with anyone else on the track. Hell my 21.5 is set to 90% on the EPA and I still walk most of the field on the straight. It’s me, not the motor that keeps me off the top of the podium.

So so let’s keep arguing about how to “make the racing closer and more fair” for everyone by focusing on one thing while we run our $800+ chassis, new $100 batteries every couple months, $100 high amp diachargers, 6 different bodies all mounted differently, one/two race day tires, untold amounts in pit accessories and tools, and kids will just keep buying cheap drones and playing fortnight instead.

Well the motor I run is the same motor that made it through tech at the Southern Nats last year so, if it’s a cheater motor, it’s an old one, and one that has been deemed legal in the past. I run at 90% because i dont get weekly track time and have found it takes the edge off. But, glad to see my inability to run WOA is what you focused on out of my whole statement, not actually answering how this is supposed to save money and lower cost in the long term. Way to belittle my ability to run a 21.5 at full speed in an attempt to discredit my opinion. And it will probably work too, as most people in this hobby follow the guy how wins like moths to flame, regardless of that individuals actaul knowledge on any given topic.

I cant take any of this seriously when I see the heaviest pushers of this idea are running some of the most expensive equipment out there otherwise.

Also, like I said in Facebook with a near identical post, why not actually call out these companies that have been accused of cheating, and ban their equipment from participating at events?

Whether it’s 5 year olds, debates between political candidates, or the childishness that appears on this thread, as soon as the personal attacks come out, you loose all credibility and ability to make a sound argument for your position. So keep on poking at the fact I admitted to de-tuning a 21.5, really adds the strength of your stance.

FYI, my car at 90% was only .2 off of fast lap and top 15 from the leader.

I have heard the same, but I only run at 90% so what do I know?

So instead of just saying Trinity (and any others that may be “cheating) won’t be allowed at these privately held events that essentially make up their own rules anyway, especially since this would be the second time in as many years that Trinity has done this (if true). We as an RC community decided to create an entirely new system and test processes. I cannot fathom how this is simpler, and easier than just telling a company to get it together or you don’t get to play?
