Noooooooo!

Well everyone has moved from manuals to esc's. Manual speed controllers are one of the things that puts people of racing. We are runnings esc's at our club and I doubt we will ever go back (we would loose members if we did)

As to kit price, as far as i am aware Schumacher will be getting their kits built in china so their costs will be cheap compared to mardave who still build things in the uk (less units and more expensive labour costs). So I would expect the price to be in the same ball park, they could theoretically be cheaper.

I just hope for positives and the addition of a new chassis expands the class so they can both have a profitable chunk going forward.

However as quoted above, if the brca is still obsessed with keeping oval etc in the 70's then I can't see another chassis being allowed.
