There's also the issue of Lipos - not all are created equal and there's a difference between someone running with the 20C pack that came with their car and someone with a 90C pack. Gearing too, plays a part.
But I'm with everyone else on this - the 540/17.5T class is there as a level playing field; a clubman/stock class for not just kids & beginners but those who don't want the size of their wallet (or their dad's) to determine how well they do. I've seen cars in that class do speeds that would easily outpace some modified racers.
