Ha ha! That one's sticking! SERIOUS about Pineapple Pighand Studios!

With regards the vintage series I would say no motor limits. A controlled motor would be ideal but in reality the vintage cars will be most people's second/third cars so they are only likely to run them if they can use whatever they already have in the pit box.

I have a TRX-3 almost ready to run (well it's been almost for about 3 yrs... ) and hopefully will be able to run a borrowed Avante.

Nice one Stants, I can lend you a 6.5 to go in the Avante!
What do you need for the TRX3? I'm sure between Dyna and Balders it can be made race ready!

Pete, not sure the 6.5 would be quick enough.
(There is an evil side to me that would love to buy a brand new in box Avante and then strap a 4.5 in it for a laugh. I would then put a video on that Tamiya club site. It would start with me ripping into the pristine packaging and then cut to the run up of an attempt to jump a house with it, or long jump off Weston pier. Quite a bit of $$$ for a quick laugh though...)

As for the Traxxas I have all the bits (although proper white front wishbones and bumper would finish it off nicely.) I did a full rebuild about a year ago but just need to get electrics in etc. Also got a new shell that needs spraying. Hopefully get it done soon if find some time.

I know what you mean about finding time!

As we have an overwhelming majority who want to run brushless, then how about limiting the brushless runners to 10.5 or slower?
