Not by any stretch of the imagination.
We have a separate class for novices and they can run pretty much whatever car they want in that class so long as they are using either a stock motor or whatever comes in the car (so the Titan is OK in the Slash).
Most of the guys running our slash class are experienced racers, many who are very serious about their 1/8th scale buggies outdoors. They run Slash and want to keep it stock so that they can put their $200 car on the track without the hassle of getting their engine started, tuning it to the current condition and worrying about flameouts. Or worrying about what hop-ups they should buy for it (because the answer is none). So yeah, they might have had a $300 radio, but they didn't buy it for the Slash class - they just bought the truck, another receiver and a battery.
