so if its cost?...that's easy....don't buy the crazy high motors. Easier said than done?.... not really...Ive stated before that we are our own worst enemy. Just stop and look what we(racers) have done.... we created this issue and its up to us to solve it.
Don't spend that type of money knowing your fellow racers cant afford to do the same. Cause you are forcing them to spend what they don't have, or to quit all together. ROAR rules say $150 or under, heck shoot for less at your club...hey you want to run this or that,....any ROAR motor under $100...give or take $20 for taxes ect...
or you could do like a lot of us do and simply handicap your speed to be on par with others racing with you...Ive done it and others have done it for me.
Us racers must understand that we are all in this together. Yes we are "RACERS", but that doesn't mean nothing without somebody to race....help your slower/budget racers get up to speed without them dropping the new motor every 3 months. Show them how to get the older motor to peak speed with setup and practice....then slow your rocket down to make it competitive for you both.
