Racing now is WAY cheaper and fairer than in the days of nicad cells and brushed motors; everything had a short shelf life and to get anywhere near a sponsored driver cost a hill of money on special batteries and motors.
The chassis thing isn't a biggy IMO; plenty of cars with both configurations in one box or for not much more money, KF, new B6 etc. Hard to enforce too; what constitutes a chassis? Just the £50 metal plate? And if you are unlucky enough to bend it mid meeting what then?
I started in RC, have competed and now work in full size motorsport, and have come back to RC! Enjoy it. There is ALWAYS someone with more money at every level/scale!
