Why should brushless owners be any different? Just because your car came with a certain motor, doesn't mean it has to race with it.
Surely it renders the whole class dead in the water if brushless motors of any kind are allowed in; at least until they become as cheap and plentiful are a ten quid 540?
I'm not going to sit there and be thrashed by a brushless-equipped rtr car, week in week out, while I plod along with my 540. I'll just go out and buy a brushless too. Oh hang on... I can't afford one...
I'll get my coat.

I see what you mean when you said this thread went off on a tangent last night - very much so. And yes, I agree that it’s pointless having a 540 class if people use brushless motors. In my mind, we should change the class system from 540 and modified to essentially turn ranges i.e. 3.5t - 7.5t, 8.5t - 13.5t or something along those lines. Or maybe this is just overcomplicating the system?
