I think ROAR needs to re-examine dropping VTA and USGT from the rulebook, adopt them as regular classes instead of as exhibition classes, make sure they have two manufacturers for motors and tires of each so this isn't a one vendor class, and then drop LMH.
The idea of having a high downforce body and choosing a 25.5 motor is an oxymoron in my book. In doing so the new 25.5 will start to approach 21.5. For the next round of slowing things down we will be running 30+ turn motors.
The excuse I commonly hear is we chose this motor for the newbies. We want to make the c class accessible for newbies. It’s 2026, newbies enter racing with a Losi NASCAR, Eurotruck, TT02 Car with brushed motors and eventually graduate to VTA, USGT etc.
