It is pretty well thought out and tested, not just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks which is what most of these "I'm thinking of starting a new class" threads consist of.
I understand what you are saying, and I have looked into all of that. I know that the current trend of 17.5 motor of the week 5% $200 motors is not sustainable. It will ruin the hobby. Faster spec is not the answer. That’s where we are now. So have a mod class and a slower spec. The question should not be “Why run mod?” but “Why is a veteran racer running stock?”
