Bob, the mod class is dead other than a few cars running in series or 1 of the big races here in the NW. The interest is gone, I just cant understand why the majority of racers will have to downsize. I'm fine with the speed of stock and 19t, so are 99% of the racers around here too.
Brushless hasn't taken off at all, 1 local track has a class for them, but those people havent raced anywhere else locally.
the fun of racing is being able to tinker with the motors, even in the Tamiya silver can classes we always had our tricks to do.
I dont plan on spending around $300 to run a spec class, just makes no sense!
It will be more fun to spend $18 on a new mabuchi, run 6 cell and go as fast as roar stock BL that cost $250.
Adrian, you want to lose me from TC ? I buy new chassis every year or less, not because I need it, but because to me its fun. You tell the manu's and the hobby shop WHY!
I can and will go nitro 1/10th.
