This makes sense in a way. But what about mod speed is the problem? Is it that it is too fast, or is it too fast for most people to be competitive?
If it is too fast, you can run a slower motor. There is nothing in the rules that says you have to run a 3.5 with 6-cells.
My guess is that most do not move up because they are unable to compete with a Lemieux, Cyrul, Hebert, or Blackstock. You get these guys concentrating on 10.5 and they are going to dominate that as well. I bet you would ultimately end up with a 10.5 Modified class that only a handful of factory guys run.
The problem with on-road racing is that people will only race if they think they have a chance to win. This does not seem to be a problem in electric off-road and definitely is not in 1/8 off-road. Another problem is that America drivers are not as good as they used to be relative to the drivers around the World.
