The cars are still relatively cheap, unless you're a complete tool. Just the ratio of expense between motor/rest-of-car will change.
So am I Jim so am I. I am also on my first orca combo from 4 years ago they are a great little system. I too agree switching to open 21.5 up here is a huge mistake, I thought the reps should have speced a motor then we all go out and buy it race and have a good time. Open 21.5 just makes me think back to the craziness of the red dot days which were rediculous in my opinion.
