Technically for many you are increasing the cost and limiting participation by requiring a specific product be used. Brushed speedos are too cheap and easy to come by nowdays to think limiting it one reduces cost.

You are not controlling cost on the battery where performance can be significantly effected. Also allowing hi end radios that offer a clear advantage over the limited features of the AM rtr setups. If anything an intelligent new person would think hey I need a good radio for precise control and a great battery to get that extra rip. Far more expensive than upgrading the speedo and more effect on the fair factor…. Yet allowed and accepted.

Enjoying the discussion and have been looking forward to it with the growth of this class. Curious are you a race organizer or a racer?
