okay lets look at it this way....motor is $150, but you get the extras, basically best stator, bearings, fancy print out and so on....still legal, but with all the bells and whistles...so the company sorts parts to get the best of the best and keeps it legal to give you a 1% motor?...is this correct?...at the same time the company has a regular priced motor like everyone else, around $100....but for the extra $50, you get the goodies?
well if that is true, whats the difference in a racer buying 10 motors and going thur them to get the best stator,bearings ect?....to make a 1% motor for himself?....
the difference is 10 motors cost you around $1000.....even if you sell the rest at cost, you still took the time and equipment to make your own 1% motor....
so kids, I would rather pay $50 extra than all that other to obtain the same goal.
so even a spec or lock time motor, racers are going to buy several to get that "ONE"
and who is to say $100 or $150 should be the limit?...I got beat at the Nationals with a $30 Trackstar motor...so should we have a bottom cap too...lol....
point is, we can not fix this issue without dramatically changing the class...cause like I said....spec everything is the only real solution...cause if you dont...that hot new lipo will be out soon, and dont forget that super sweet esc about to drop....Now What?
lol That's all hyperbole but we don't need a total reset on the rules. Just a small tweak every so often, just like other sports do from time to time....
