Or 1/12 which look like moving door stops, they tried making 1/12 here a GT style body class until the local fast guy found he shaved 0.3 a lap by going to the wedge so everyone else followed like the proverbial blind sheep
I think entry level needs to be that entry level, rtr TT01 / TT02 with kit bodies and bearings only upgrade. That never lasts though. We open it up to experienced racers to get numbers, to promote the class, they trounce the field and the new guys get discouraged figure screw this I'll just hack around the car park it's cheaper.
Catch 22.
To grow the hobby we need to change
OUR attitude. We need to have less emphasis on classes, RCRA rules, trophy meets, control motors, and all the other bs that we've shoveled on ourselves and just go out and have fun, and encourage others to do just that.
