Is that any better than the Mach2 that I hated in my V2?

So, cheap car that used to come with a free (to $15) motor, now runs a $90 motor, and will likely change spec again in a year. Genius. It goes well with the S Grips simultaneously getting way crappier and way more pricey. I've been running Sweeps and Shimizus this season. They're cheaper and last ages. Too bad they're tiny!

Whatever happened to driving m-chassis just for fun?
This is suppose to be a chassis you put your leftover electronic on..and race for comic relief..

Why the strict motor rule in this class? I'd prefer not to spend another $90 on my $120 car. I got into Mini to have fun with at TCS races.

If I didn't know any better I would think that Tamiya might just be trying to do away with the class altogether by just P/Oing everyone who drives it so they will go away!
I really would like to meet the idiot who makes these decisions!

I just did a quick check for availability at Tower, Horizon, Stormer and TQ. Only Tower has the motor in stock. What are the odds that this motor will not be available to everyone before the first scheduled race?

Should go back to silver can hand outs and use kit ESC.
Seriously stupid.

At least TowerHobbies is very timely on their deliveries. 
Omni-models is also very good.
