i agree with bk i doubt its a $$ saving thing (i must confess that i dont see mod being all that more costly to run than stock - maybe im wrong) apart from 540 there is no real cheap form of r/c

going back to the victorian debate i think mod numbers are "down" (if thats at all correct) or people dont move from stock due in large part to to outright speeds of full on mod racing not the cost

that said i doubt that 19t would ultimatley be that much slower - when you look at how well G20 runs in tc's

in any event if a class was to get voted on it would have to be the roar specs - they are (or soon will be) handwound full on mods the fixed timing, machine wound 19t's are "history"

radio - progress has to made very carefully, and infact any changes may be too soon / quick

i think the upcomming tc nats will be a watershed for stock and mod, perhaps we will get the best indercation as to the viability of another class, if there are 10 stock heats (which i would suggest is not unimaginable) maybe another class could be carried at state and national level (which would flow on to clubs)

the off road situation is much different
