While I understand what ROAR is trying to do, I just don't agree that this will make things easier. The focus will now shift to who has the deeper pockets IMO.
I hope that the non-sanctioned ROAR races, ie Snowbirds, Reedy etc, will not follow suit. At least with the boosted class I do not have to have the hotest battery and motor. I could tune the ESC to extract more performance if necessary.
I hate to think of all the money that has been wasted trying to catch up to Tekin. It seems that as of lately there are companies whose equipment seems on par. What incentive is there now for development from the electronics manufacturers?
In the end I will still spend a lot of money on RC and race whatever the track or race I am at is running.
I wonder if this trend will start with off-raod anytime soon?
