Thanks, 2019 Novice allows any Tamiya Hop Up., but no shimming. Interestingly since you can use any hop up, I believe the torque tuned motor spins a a couple thousand RPM faster than the new Reedy Fixed timing 21.5T, the novice cars could be faster and built to the exact same spec as GT pro spec class.

They might as well make GT Pro spec the torque tuned motor now and save everyone the hassle of having to buy an expensive reedy motor and esc. Then a novice could truly move to that class easily.
