In my head at least, Jimmy's ranting essentially distills down to the fact that
specifically in 1/10 OR it's fairer now than it ever has been. If we stick to control tyres and basic size/weight construction regs then it's a pretty even class of racing.
Now that anyone can cheaply obtain enough safe reliable power to go stark bonkers ballistic for a 5 mins run, why not find a
sensible way to relax the section rules? When you're grip limited there's no advantage to oversized lipos or secretive fettling with higher voltages, motor-cooking timing and mad max rotor magnets, just as there's no advantage to running £75 lipos/motors over carefully chosen £25 ones.
Though designed to control and (to an extent) legally protect us, the current rules seem outdated and there are concrete (if equally outdated) means to change them. If people feel strongly enough then access those procedures, make your voice heard and your vote count.
Then, if you tackle that succesfully, we can all move on to the team drivers and their secret compound tyres
