The loss of std class at Batley was the reason I gave up many years ago. Back then mod motors were three times the price of std and the cells you needed to last 5 minutes also three time the price of standard unmatched 1200 (yes 1200mAh) that could keep a 27T motor spinning 6 minutes plus. So in the end, as a mid teen I just could not afford to be competitive.
However. If from what I read even the cheapest import motors and lipos from china can give you 5 mins and more speed than normal humans can control then I guess the only cost factor then is the DAMAGE!
