Don't forget, 'back in the day' you had a limiting factor.... duration, this would stop most putting in silly motors etc. Funnily, we had a similar issue to you with touring cars, as the technology moved from NiMH's to LiPO and brushed to brushless, cars went faster but at the time we had a large indoor venue, when we had to switch to a smaller one, some of us older drivers went to slower motors, the ones who didn't were moaning about crashing. Sometimes I think the class you race is just as responsible for the issue as is the person.
We run in an area where, at the time was a mix of on-road and off-road, trying to convince someone to invest in a 13.5 for their tc was almost impossible, as it would never get used in their buggy.
As for beginners, we either suggest an RTR buggy or a GT12 (as they are almost indestructible)
