We just go lipo packs legalized for racing, and already people are complaining. And I am going to post something here that people may disagree with, but I think it to be true:
Budget minded racers are not going to win. And it is not even about the money, it is about the mindset. You know "that guy" at your track who can whip anyone with anyones car. He is not budget minded, he does not set limits, his expectations are never met, he will never be satisfied no matter how bad he beats the competition. It is a complete mind set, he will do whatever it takes to be "that guy". Unfortunately that guy cannot be constrained by anything. What I am trying to say, is that if you set limits on anything, you will be constrained by them, they will bleed over to other things as well, and you will always be beat by "that guy".
