Not a spec class.Just a class with specific rules.Engines of .28 or larger would set this class apart from the rest.Plus they're more affordable than the race .21's.A very strong reliable.28 can be had for around $120.00 to 180 with more power than you will ever need.These motors run and tune more reliably and last longer than .21's and can produce more power. There ability to hold a tune makes them begginer freindly.Tires will be what keeps it even.The problem is tire selection.If you don't want the A/E tire you must run buggy tires.Then everyone will say your cheating.The Moab tires won't make you any faster and look very realistic.Lap times are the same.So I use them because they're affordable.My modded Platnum = Drake .28 is a tire eater especially on the bluegroove tracks we have in Florida.The SC8 tires actually chirp when you lock them up entering a corner.How cool is that.

That Jammin' is sick Joeracer.Nice work.Thats what this class is all about.
