Why so? Will some be trying to gain an advantage by umm, shall we say pushing the envelope a bit? I heard on the grapevine (it's a big grapevine) that stock means stock as in the motor that comes in the kit so 99.9% Mabuchi 540 (I say 99.9% as there is probably the odd 0.01% of kits out there that had a 540-J in it). And stock gearing too, no fast tuned gear sets.

I assume since the class is called 'tamiya' mini, the likes of the abc gambado, top racing sabre etc. Will be placed in gt12 open?

Not sure, these may just go in Mini open, there haven't been an awful lot of non-Tamiya "Minis" in the past though so may not be an issue.

Personally - and it's just my 2 penneth - I partially disagree if we are talking Stock class. Firstly if you want to run an M04 or M06 you are welcome to do so (RWD) in either class depending on motors/gearing but yes run whatever tyres and hop-ups you want. Secondly black cans are getting quite pricey now and an EZRun setup is also not cheap compared to a boggo kit motor so why complicate it?
