it seems that this thread is being taken out of context a little
for the record i too am in favor of hand-out motors
what i was trying to get across is that maybe we dont have to stop with just the motors ?
a few tracks i race at have a novice and a pro 540 class
why because there are 2 types of 540 racers

the up and coming with limited experiance
the up and coming with limited budget

then you have the good 540 racers that either dont want to or cant afford to go up to stock

all i was trying to say is maybe we could have 2 540 classes
540 novice control motor limited ability cheap batteries and older style cars eg missions pro 3 and the like
then you could have the same rules as now for 540 pro

cheers
