As a beginner class that we are trying to build (I assume) we might not want to be so exclusive. There are a few "Mini" type vehicles that fit the spirit of the class. A 1/12 foam pan car does not fit the spirit of the class.
Maybe I'm not clear on what the intent of the Mini class is? We all know that no two motors are the same, batteries vary, better servos are, well, better.
Should it be a cost limited beginner class? I don't know.
C'mon...
It's one thing for someone to want to run in a "similar" class when they already own the car - I get that. Caesar purchased this car after eveyone else did.
Is Caesar a beginner? He deliberately bought a chassis different than everyone else with the sole purpose of obtaining an advantage. That chassis is a double decker, 4WD sedan chassis. Not remotely simlar to the Mini's.
Beginners mistake to run a 17.5 for weeks on end in a 21.5 F1 class with people asking why his car is so much faster than everyone elses?
Clearly the intent was to run as "spec" as is reasonable M-Chassis class.
