It's a Reedy.

And I brought it for my Mini for TCS racing.

A new carpet track opened up close enough that I would like to race there. But I run VTA, and the track only has GT (and regular touring car classes). So I'm stepping up my TC4 to run GT. Due to financial reasons I cannot race often. I really don't want to show up at the track to find half of the racers have these 24K $150 motors to race a class that was started to have fun. At that point, why should I even bother?

I'll grant you, I'm an outlier. I don't represent a large number of racers. But if we're trying to grow the class and the hobby in general, there needs to be something to better attract racers like me. If I'm priced out of the hobby, where are new racers going to come from?
