I've stated my favor of the spec, handout motors but I think making a whole esc/motor combo or spec tires and batteries is maybe a little too much, You mise well just have a box stock class then. Tires cost pretty much the same from company to company and all have competitive tires, And the fact that some tires just don't feel the same to some people as others. Batteries I wouldn't even get into that, Its a widely debatable topic on what batteries are "worth" and this name vs that name and the whole "C-Rating" thing...just to much to regulate at a simple club level. In a stock class I have NO problems or worries running my "cheap" Gens Ace and Nano-Techs against $100+ Orions and Thunder Power, I know I'm just not getting beat by their batteries. Although I think its debatable that every ESC Blinky mode is the same...I think a Blinky class with handout motors would provide the best solution to the "stock" racing scene.
