It ain't cheaper or fairer...
I keep reading 'cheaper' in posts... not it isn't or wouldn't be.
Modified 10th Off Road today is the fairest it has ever been. The reason for this, as Mark Christopher said, is that there is more power available than grip. This is the case even running cheap gear.
In my 4wd I use a £30 motor, £50 speedo and £25 lipo. This set provides me with as much (probably more tbh) power than I am able to handle. My car is as fast as the top guys and they beat me because they set up their cars better and drive better.
If it were a spec class, it would no longer be possible to retain the same level of competitiveness on the same budget. There would be an advantage in running the latest greatest electrics, because in a reduced power class the extra edge of the best gear is usable, even for those with more money than talent.
