So it would only make sense for the rules to be adjusted occasionally...... perhaps so that the weight of a not so light chassis fitted with older (aka heavier electronics) and a std weight body (not a flimsy light one) established where the minimum weight cutoff should be.
Im in favor of the body weight rule if the bodies used thicker and stronger lexan.. all the one color throw aways are past getting old. If bodies lasted a while again maybe we would see nice paint jobs again.. but I'd like to see that rule for all classes, not just 1 or 2
