Oyeah the beginners are really rushing to race those $600 mistakes
Lets get real will yeah ?
the only 4w that beginners are even using are the Sc4x4 and they are designed to be tuff & strong enough for a beginner ....
Your a beginner ?
get Sc 4x4 if you have to have 4w and guess what ?
Lots of beginners in the Sc4x4 program and none are crying about the motors or class being to fast ...
I've seen people in this hobby that have a very large aptitude for mechanics and don't have issues building things, so just because one may be a beginner in this hobby, you can't always rule out that they never picked up a tool before.
I can see what the OP is trying to get at. Introduce a slower class so that newer (or even drivers coming from SCT) don't feel so intimidated by the ultra high speed that some of the cars can do.
