It might be ideal if these new motors are going to the same price as adjustable motors 65+ dollars but if they are cheaper then its a moot point.
Oh absolutely. And I'm ok with the locked motor. But if I have to go buy a new motor which is the exact same as the unlocked motor to run in a particular class, then just sell me an end bell. I mean a small parts kit (end bell and timing inserts) for the LRP X 12 is like $12. BUT if these new motors are dirt cheap and have other restrictions put on them then I'm ok with that too.
