In Stock, you have to keep up with the Jones's... best/latest batteries, motors, speedos, etc. The speeds are slow enough that the differences in the electronics from a year ago can be substantial enough to affect your race outcome. In Mod, the cars are typically overpowered to the point that you can be competitive with most off the shelf motors and batts.

In Mod you will obviously go through consumables faster... and you will break a lot more if you cant keep it off the boards...
