I ws a bit skeptical about the switch in F1. Initially it seemed like a waste to drop $80 on a new motor to go marginally slower but so far the racing has been cleaner and the field much tighter. Without as much power the strategy becomes different when trying to make a pass. From the limited experiment it seems like the same can be said for TC. When the race starts I'm not thinking about what motor I'm running anyway. This isn't to say that a motor change is going to be better for everyone but I'm glad my track is giving it a try.
