Dan.
Points taken fella.
I do though think that for 'club' drivers like myself, anything that makes the hobby easier, fairer and ultimatley chaper is good news. For me a meeting isn't about who is the best mechanic, or motor tuner (and we all know some racers have dads / helpers who just do this and don't race). It's about who's best racing on the track, sure setup etc is very important, but having great cells / well maintained motors isn't always viable for everyone. I'm pretty sure that at a competitive meeting Dan your one of those people that re-brush and skim regularly, so are Tom / Rich etc. That costs a shed load ! I re-brush when the brushes are on their last legs and personally i'll be glad to see an end to this cary on, and i'll be glad to see an end to having to invest in 4/5 packs of decent cells just to be competitive. I think brushless & lipo will be a great way to level the power / performance gap between racers that we see regulaurly at club / regional meetings. I'm really confused as to why people aren't embracing this change and it seems to be the more 'serious' drivers that have reservations ?
