Let me answer your question as to why people don't move up to mod in Region 1, or most indoor tracks around America. First of all, size of indoor tracks don't lend themselves to mod. Are you really going to competitively run sedans and 12th scale cars in mod with a 75 foot straightaway ( or less) and 6 foot lanes with todays technology? Its like driving a Ferrari in a gymnasium.
If your outdoors on a 150 foot plus track with wide open lanes, then running 13.5 or 17.5 is quite retarded.
Bottom line, if your local club cant support mod, its pretty unreasonable to expect this big leap to mod unless mod itself, perhaps all cars in general, are slowed down.
And who's fault is that? Who's fault is it that cars got so fast that no one wants to run them any more? Now all the fast drivers who don't want to run mod move down to stock, and literally push the hobby level racer right out the door. A guy who busts his ass all week, looking to blow off some steam racing RC cars, do you really think he wants to spend 4 hours cutting comms???
Now it's even worse, with speed controls costing more than the average 1/12 scale car. And with the economy in the crapper, who wants to do this any more? Show me how any of this is worth it!!!!!
