We all drive $1000+ racing vehicles and we're complaining about a $30 USB interface? Really?

Here's my side of the story:

Our local track runs mostly stock because it's too small for mod to be a benefit. Fine and dandy, but I went to my first big national event last year (Columbus) and even though I had 3 perfect heats within .4 seconds of each other, I still only qualified 22nd out of 55 cars. Between my ESC (which didn't have boost options) and my motor (which could only go up to 15 degrees of timing), I was at a pretty big power disadvantage versus the guys running 60 degrees of motor timing and boost through the roof. Tebo, Cav and the top guys in mod buggy were running 21.0's - the fastest stock buggy time I saw all weekend was 21.9, and a heat time that would have put him high in the B-main for mod buggy. Oh, and this was a high-speed, super fast track where RPM and power did make a difference. After that race, I vowed to never run stock again anywhere other than my local track, where we pretty much have to.

With this new update, and maybe mandating a locked motor like Trinity/Epic has come out with, stock racing MAY become fun again, and with good batteries at a decent price, it may actually make things more fair than we've seen in a long time.
