That's great news about the GT12 Classes, but...
If we are to introduce these two classes at our club, how do we get those beginners to go buy new 17.5 motors?
We did think of getting a batch of them at the club and asking drivers to swap their 13.5 for a 17.5 until we feel they are capable of driving safely and without hitting others on the track. Great idea in principle, but as I'm sure many clubs have, we have members who race at other clubs where they run 13.5 so I guess we are stuck between a rock and a hard place!
Trust me, I've never told anyone new to RC racing to go get all the latest most expensive kit around, in fact we advice them on our website to get the basic kit - but as everyone says, we can't enforce it.
We've bent over backwards to give people advice and guidance but if they don't listen what more can we do! It's such a shame as it spoils it for others who are really trying to improve their racing.
Arrhhhhhh!!!
