I like this approach.
Novice 17.5 spec type class. I personally think 21.5 is too slow even for the novice class and some loose interest. A lot of racers come from bashing where crazy fast speeds are the norm. How many bashers out there routinely drive a sick fast Slash with a 3S lipo in it?
What's important for the novice is being able to concentrate on driving and setup skills and not worry about being technically obsolete in 3 months. The quickly rising cost will drive out the people getting into the sport.
Sportsman mod and Pro mod sounds good.
These guys have been around long enough to know what to expect and plan for it in their approach and budget. Going mod negates the techno wars quickly letting you concentrate on driving skills, setup, and finding the best combo for your personal style and interest.
If you want an equalizer make it the tires. Maybe a spec tire in the sportsman class and pure open in the Pro class.
Just some more ideas..........
