Well, actually, no.
An 18th scale class car of any kind is basically pointless for anyone racing at a club where everyone else has a shark. The performance gap is huge. What would be the point in someone running an RC18B2, when the other 9 guys all have sharks? Who is he gonna race other than himself?
The class structure is fine at national events where you have the entry numbers to make it viable, but it's pointless for a club that struggles to attract 10 drivers to start with. At WRCC we offer micro off road - just one class. If we had 4 or 5 RC18B2's show up, then we'd ask them if they wanted a separate heat/final/championship, but until that happens they go in with the sharks, otherwise they have nobody to race against.
We had a new racer turn up with a Caster Racing Fusion on Monday. It took him all of 2 rounds to decide he was going to buy a shark at the soonest available opportunity!
