I really really fail to see the problem with boosted tc, as alluded to by others on this thread;

-it's easy on motors and batteries
-you don't need the latest motor to be competitive
-once you have you head around the settings they don't need much fiddling


I think roar have made a serious mistake just outlawing it, very short sighted in my opinion and I hope the brca and uk clubs don't make the same mistake in completely outlawing it

What cannot be ignored however are the many people who also like blinky so surely a simple solution is for the mfgs and national bodies to all agree on three worldwide classes which in my opinion should be;

13.5/17.5 blinky
13.5/17.5 boosted
Mod

Note the blinky and boosted classes should use the same wind motor so people can easily step up/down with the same equipment

It is then up to the individual organizers to pick which classes they run at that event, but events like the snowbirds iic etc should probably offer all three

The many different motor speedo classes available are what is killing tc/onroad
