One real positive about SC is that they have been a huge contributor to gaining new racers. RTR and in kit form the LHS can sell these all day long. Much easier then a 300$ buggy in a small box....
We have grown our offroad club alot because of this easy to get into class. We spec at 13.5bl to keep things under control.. what i have seen happen is these new guys get hooked and then usually want a second class and grab a buggy..
Love em' or hate em' they have saved 1/10th scale racing IMO. And some of the new racers will move on to other classes building the car count for the classes that you DO like. IMO if you're a 1/8th scale nitro guy you're not gonna like them and they really don't belong on a 1/8th scale track anyway, mod 4x4 maybe but not 2wd. If your track is an outdoor 1/8th anything 1/10th scale is gonna suck, again IMO.
