If you want to castrate stock, you need to find something else to race, like maybe 1/18th ?
The whole premise behind racing, at least to my understanding, is to improve the current product, make more power and make it go faster.
It is, after all, called racing.
I'm not talking about castration.... I'm talking about making the power source (battery) not a issue. Stock is the entry class (currently it is the most expensive class to run), but people complain that factory drivers are running it. So make is slower, for the newbie, keep the factory guys out (they will not want to go that slow), and if you want faster, then move up to 19T or Mod, your choice.... At the end of the day solve the problem not just another bandage on the hole.

I sounds like regulators are out there, so why take a really look at this, and stop this battery BS....????
