at the moment it's spec racing at its very best - sunday at cobra was the closest RC car race I've ever seen, let alone been involved in. messing with tyres, trick suspension, 4wd will just ruin it all IMO. there also needs to be a voluntary motor limit - 8.5?
pure skill and nerve and setup should be what wins races - not who has the best tyres or whatever.
we've already got open classes for all the other formulae. It'd be lovely if it could be kept confined to the SC10 too, although that's not really practical!

I'm actually starting to disagree about the motor limit. These things can only go so fast and have very limited traction, so the faster the motor the slower you will go. It's all about finding the balance of power and driveability. If you go down the route of limiting the motors you will end up needing the best batteries money can buy to compete in a straight line. I run a 7.5 with shabberd Lipos and was matching 10.5s for speed at Talywain.
I can't help thinking the the more you control how fast the cars can go the more money people will spend to try and eek more performance.
