The RTR stuff I have seen at NBC and else where has always been pretty competitive with the competition stuff. Put in a faster motor and unless your someone like Neil Cragg I doubt many of us would be able to tell the difference until you hit something as they tend to be made from cheaper materials that don't have the strength or longevity.
I can see where you are coming from and I think if people stayed away from the RTR stuff like TLR, Associated and Durango it could be a worth while exercise.
The seeding is a strange one, as you know to give way to faster drivers so could go in your appropriate F Grading heat. That may be better than putting stock competitors in a novice heat where their reactions aren't so quick to avoid a slower car in a straight line. No idea which is best on that one.
As I mentioned Eastrax did run their first winter series to 19turn stock rules with a sole control tire and it attracted more drivers than when it was run to modified rules. Made for some much closer racing to as we all tended to drive more consistently.
