Maz,
Interesting and as always well thought out comments
Thoughts on your reply...
Agree that we should not restrict chassis, especially as someone might want to go and buy a second-hand chassis off eBay which could be cheaper than a RTR chassis - though your comment on setting up of a basic RTR is also very valid and probably aimed at those who are brand new to the RC racing.
Good point about adding weight, I'd forgotten that LiPo's are so light that having to add so much lead weight might cause it's own problems, lets get a feel what car weights are over the coming weeks to see if we leave it along, or add a few extra grams.
Happy to accept a brushless equivalent to the Saturn if there is one out there, again there needs to be some testing.
Agree that we should not have 1 ESC, that link was just an example, sorry if it came across trying to restrict to just 1.
I was not sure about banning the disc wheels at first but as several of you have mentioned it maybe we should go down that route, would make them all look more like road cars
Happy to go with no limit on LiPo's if as you say it will make no difference to overall performance.
I think your overview looks good, but I'd like to see some in action first as I'm sure many others would before we make any final decisions. As we are not running this class as a championship scoring points class just yet, then there is no rush for us just yet to pin down the rules.
BTW Maz, what do you think about pulling back our cars just a little, maybe running 17.5 instead of 13? What about switching off turbo boost too? I think we'll still be fast, but probably a little more controllable for those of us chasing hard to beat you
