Hi Matt,
the Novak and Castle Creations SCT set ups are aimed at the 4WD trucks, they are 550 motor based to handle the weight and heavy duty drivetrain.
10.5's seem pretty well matched to the 2WD class, any more and you will need a steady throttle to get the best out of it without wheelies and wheelspin, pretty much all our 2WD's are running either stock kit motors or 10.5 brushless.
There were a couple of 2WD's running 8.5T's at the Carnage meeting last year, but as soon as the front lifts under power the air gets underneath the body and parachutes backwards like an air brake!
I know that the mid east regional rules for SCT's are 10.5 limit class for 2WD and everything else is in open class... so 2WD's with faster motors will be in with the 4WD's... i think this is a great idea and will hopefully work and give some good fun racing.
If you are running the shortcourse shootout meetings then as far as i know its split into drivetrain classes so you can go as fast with motors as you like.
