At our club, if you bash into cars you dont go up into the better driver heats, no matter how fast you are, where as drivers who are smooth and keep out of trouble do move up into the better heats.
This makes the guys and girls at our club drive well.
We also have loan cars that are smooth and slow, many of the newcomers use these before they buy a car so they do see the benefit of smooth lines etc, most usually then buy a car with a fast brushless, but gear it down.
Personally I think technology is better now than its ever been, cheap and reliable. Our club is very busy now with everyone racing 1/10 onroad and their are a lot of great drivers coming through the ranks, and importantly lots of good young drivers.
The one thing I would like is manufacturers making a RTR car have a club std electrics set-up. 17.5 blinky is popular in the UK and US so if you bought a RTR with that set-up it would be great.
