Trouble with going for anything is that if someone is using say a 5.5 then others may be put off as their car may not be capable of running enough power to keep up or they end up with broken transmission.
Whilst we're all doing this for fun, I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to be competitive!
Look at Andy's Thundershot last year, it could barely cope/survive with an 8.5 (I think) and it's staying in retirement as a result.
If we limited the power available then others like that may be tempted out of hibernation!
What I don't want to happen is for this to end up like the trucks series, which ended up with just 2 runners in the last couple of rounds.
Last year I ran a variety of motors in the same car, the Ansmann Clash 18T, Speed Passion 9.5 and an old old 19 turn brushed motor.
The 18T was good but couldn't match speed of the brushless cars.
The 9.5 gave me the speed but my Optima Mid struggled with it hence the change back to brushed. Neither of the brushed motors had any maintenance and the 18T was used in my T3 (and is still running in it as far as I know!)
Each motor did 2 rounds and I didn't do too badly overall did I?
I know Balders and I have looked at 2wds this year as his Lazer & my mid struggled with brushless so much.
Food for thought?
