hello everyone. I picked up a 1/10 touring chassis to run in the VTA class, but I have a few questions concerning the class.

- Are there any plans to allow the Novak Ballistic 21.5 motor? I like how the sensor wire is not attached to the motor, and from what I have heard, it has similar performance of the current legal 21.5

- Is the current body list shown on the website up to date?

- has there been discussion of 1S lipo usage in 21.5? I notice another place using there own form of VTA with 1S lipo and 17.5:
