I totally agree with this.
I ran original tyres on my XLS and Topcat at last years revival (along with brushed electrics and nimh packs) and still made the A-Final with both despite being a distinctly average driver. All the effort that went into the car prep paid dividends for me, which is where I derive most enjoyment.
Brushless electrics and lipo's I can understand for convenience, although I would like to see some sort of motor limit. Tyres I think should be limited to what was available at the time - not necessarily kit standard, but not the modern stuff.
Having said all that, the later classes where I ran a Cougar 2 and Bosscat Works, they can handle low turn brushless motors and modern tyres as standard - so why not? The 93-98 2wd class in particular is fiercely competitive, which is great fun as long as it doesn't spread into all the other classes too.
All just my 2p.
