I also think with low cost kits like the minis (most of them come with a 540 and speedo) we will keep the door open for new racers at a resonable cost. This is just my 2 cents, but whatever the rules are we will make it happen and be at some races. I also hope to see the tire rule for mini go back to open Tamiya 60D tires and rims (at least on carpet like the GT classes are). Thank you David for taking over and best of luck to Fred in the future.
Thank you for the feed back about your concerns and I very much appreciate your paticipation all these years. Cost to the racer is one of the most important aspects I consider then making any decision. I will say that Spec and Mini will for sure remain 540J motors for this very reason. However, GT3 may change to 21.5 Brushless.
