"I am just saying that i dont know why we need a new class, when we should strive to make what we already have more affordable. "--- EXACTLY, there are already enough classes. I hate to say it but spec racing is the way to fix the costs. Like in 1/8th, you could use a cheaper motor such as o.s., and have a spec tire. Clubs could buy a BUNCH of spec tires as a group and save. The problem lies in that once you are in the hobby, you end up wanting to go faster, so spec racing is out the window again........... You CANT get into 1/8th for 1,000.00!, thats ridiculous. I have been in RC since i was 12 and am now 33 and can finally afford the Serp. 960, M11, Novarossi 21, etc. Comes back to speed costs money. Its an expensive hobby sure, but so is cocaine........................................
