I can see your point and VTA as it is right now still has a lot of appeal as a class. I would dare say that it remains one of the most fun classes to run. However there are two things that concern the guys who have been around it for a few years.
1. The increased speeds that were brought on by allowing the 21.5 lipo powerplant were unexpected and not comparable to the original 4 cell 27t setups that they were intended to be equal to. That problem has been amplified by the release of what we now call juiced ESC's.
2. The slower speeds were a feature that set VTA further apart from regular Touring and with it being faster, it now is more similar to TC and RCGT. Part of its uniqueness is lost, even if it remains a killer class as it stands.
I can see why you would feel like VTA is running fine and should not be tweaked, but many of us remember what was lost and would like to recapture it. But like you I too would like to not be an excrement disturber.
