How about this for a class.....F1 looks like an F1 car, any era. Whatever is in it, doesn't matter. Suppose you have an F1 car with top of line esc and BL motor. The person driving that car either has been in RC for a long time and can drive it to the limits of its power, or the person just spend a wad and will soon be buying new parts. Either way is good because they are both racing and the parts buyer is supporting the LHS. OK, you have the brushed cheap set up.....you are like me, still can't drive it for shit and having fun nonetheless. I can't drive VTA for nothing but still have a blast meetying with the folks that can and one day, god willing (It will indeed take divine intervention for me to drive well), I might win a race. Suppose you show up box stock, learn to drive, and want to upgrade to be fast and run with the big boys, great. The more cars on the track the better, its the other cars that make it fun. My 2 cents is the rule is this...if it looks like a an F1, it is an F1, end of story.

I agree 100%

No controversy here. F1 silvercan stays as is. All other motors race together in the other F1 class which has more speed and it can include the Tamiya F201.
This will be much better and easier.
Some Mini's want to make a comeback and they know the rules for them.
VTA, Also set rules for them as well, no problem.
TC? I would like to hear from them how they will race. Just agree on how you want to run just be the same for all.
Mod TC? We will see.
It will really help in the new blood department now that the paper sent a color copy of the race to every home in the county today.
I think this simple format will work well for us.

VTA obviously has a well established and respected rule set. The rules are there, they are good rules (I still don't get the point of the driver figure, but hey, it cost $14 bucks and I giggled when i looked at it after I put it in). When starting out, how about, the class is based on the body shape, not whats in it. F1 looks like F1 is F1. Those bad ass USGT bodies are touring cars right? Beats me, but they look bad ass. Hotshot is struggling to put together a TC class. The rules need to be simplified. If it looks like a duck, then its a duck. Who cares what's in it? I know personally, I don't expect to have a chance to win, but I have fun..thats all I care about, rules be damned...just let people race.

The Tamiya 103 diff will fit and you don't need the spacers for the rear wheels. I think I have everything for it and you are welcome to try it to make sure. The gear diff would still work with the traction the asphalt has. Just loosen or tighten the diff nut to get the turn feel you like until I get the parts together.By raceday I hope.
