well if all goes as planned with roars 18 rules it will be a non issue ... i forsee a minimum in resistsance ... so some of this motor war will be less noticable...
but with all the motor talk . matt and i can run matching fast laps with a old r1 v9 motor thats been hot ... as the guys with 3 tsr/v16/monster max.
set up and driving are the still the most important things in rc

that's the problem, we have a few guys who can drive but are getting blasted on the straight by guys who are "ok", just makes it obvious that you have to spend big money to stay competitive.
We've lost drivers because of this. Hence an $80 cap like ROAR used to have would help. The way it is right now, we are giving the manufacturers a license to take our money. With a cap on motor MSRP, they work for our benefit, not the other way round.
Any argument otherwise just limits the total number of racers due to budget, we need to grow this hobby, not reinforce exclusivity.

Putting a price cap on motors would change nothing.
All that would happen is the "baseline" motor sells for the cap max. Then the same company, or some after market company offers a tuning service separate form the price. Those that can, will pay for the options. Just like they do now.
Also getting blasted on the straight, actually has a lot to do with how you come out of the corner. The guys that seem faster are carrying more speed and get on throttle sooner. Speed on the straight is greatly effected by setup and driving

The obvious immediate issue with that would be that introducing more restrictive rules would outlaw some motors that some people are already using. They'll either need to pony up more cash just to be legal, or quit racing while complaining about rules getting in the way.

at our local track in Australia our club rules have been set to use the Muchmore 17.5 fixed timing motor. Another local club also follows these rules with either the 32/36 Rush/Volante tyres and an FDR of 3.5.
Our first night we had 7 drivers which I thought was not bad for our standards. We are currently having it once a month and we will see how we go in the future.

If there are local on road tracks I think clubs need to work together to come to an agreement of FDR/17.5 fixed motor and tyres if the heart of it is to keep close racing so there's no "motor wars"
Once that's established racers can switch between clubs if they want to race. This has allowed some racers from another club to come to ours and we can go them. When competition time comes up, follow the same agreed rules.

You can only go so fast before you are blowing your car to pieces by wrecking. Somebody pull you on the straight, well they better know how to brake, or they will break.
