If we treat ShortCourse like mod truck then we will have 2 classes of the same exact thing with 2 different bodies.
The whole point is to have an inexpensive class that new people can race in and not feel like they need to keep up with the Jones's. The purpose of the motor limit is to slow the trucks down to make it more fun for new people. I didn't think it was fun to try to race a blistering fast truck and crash and break all the time. I didn't know any better. I thought I needed the fastest truck to win.
Can you tell me how it is possible to have an inexpensive class of slower trucks without having rules that limit what can be done to a truck?
Jombo, Don't take this stuff the wrong way. No one it going to stop you from racing and having fun. We are just trying to prevent things from getting out of hand. In a perfect world I would like to see a class that someone can come in off the street and buy a rtr and not feel as though they need to buy a boat load of parts in order to be competitive.
