To answer your question.
Hey guys just to clear up some things about mini class. At the Brownie's Hobbies Midland beach racing we will still run 540J motors in mini class for the guys who don't want to change. We will also run a 21.5 brushless class for the guys who are TCS legal. So that means two mini classes!!

GT-3 Rules
The Tamiya GT-3 class is for novice to intermediate skill level racers only. GT-3 is the perfect stepping stone for drivers coming from GT Spec to experience the next level in racing.

I like the GT3 idea. I like that we can use a silver can. Besides a few beach races and TCS races there wouldn't be much need for owning a 21.5 motor, so I really don't want to buy one if I don't have to. Good way to get the TA04 back in action! Great idea.
I'm putting most of my focus on 17.5 touring and 2WD buggy because between Critters, horsham, Jackson and Long Island raceway you can run every week.
Can't wait to see everyone at a race soon!
