Default Few Updates

Before we announce our fall/winter race dates and classes, we'd like to put a feeler out there for a few things.

First off, as the demand to slow stock touring cars down a bit has become more prevalent, we're proposing making 21.5t the new "stock" motor. This will not change nor remove 17.5t touring car, just simply rename it to "Pro Stock".

Now, with that being said, here is what we're going to do with the new stock class. Instead of playing the motor of the week game, we're going to make it easy for everyone, and choose the motor for you. It will be the Hobbywing sealed/locked 21.5, and it must be purchased from our store. No if ands or buts. Weight will remain the same, 1350 grams, voltage will stay at 8.40v, blinky esc, body rules and right height will also apply. There will only be one tire for the class, that will be determined within the next few days.

Next, let's talk 1/12. We're also going to be adding a 1/12 class, it will be 17.5. Blinky esc, 4.20v max, body, weight, ride height rules still apply. Another class that people want slowed down, so here it is. 13.5 won't go away.

WGT-R...... What can we say, it's slow, it can be boring, and we don't like boring. So we propose a motor change, to a sealed Hobbywing 13.5. Also must be purchased at WCRC. All other rules stay the same.

Questions? Comments? Let's hear it.
