At first I was for it, but then against it as it seemed to be something rushed through before the end of the year.
Also there was no information about the selected motors at all, no brand, no model, no data on the testing, no information about what fdr would be used at each given track.
When I voiced my concerns, I was used as an analogy, and lectured that the hand out motor proposals was aimed at racers like me.
Yes, I am a "budget" racer, but I still say a handout motor (21.5) won't make any difference when you have other racers using $800 chassis's (yes plural) and an Ogio bag full of gear, including multiple body shell's to be used as a "tuning aid", various speed controls, the latest batteries, and enough option/spare parts to open their own hobby store.
As for polls showing that a majority want handout motors, the polls were badly wrong at the recent US election.
