Well....You guys are probably right about the mfg. racers pushing the limit too far. I'll fry one to win a race.(if necessary) I know if we run better than the rest, they will too. I'm not sure it will matter what the rules are. Brushed motors can be geared to the point that they wont pull in most cases. Seems that with all this new torque, we can continue to add gear until something breaks. The warning signs are different, and usually too late.
