I have to agree with John above, the class used to be brilliant, and it can be again, but this trend for boosted to the bollocks brushless systems has to stop, its killing the class.

Any chance we can get some clarification from the committee about whether any changes will be made? I realise the nature of committee's is to run at the rate of glass, but given the response here, surely you can see that changes need to be made...
When i first started it was 2wd only as well. Not only did this teach driving but running costs were very cheap.
