This reminds me of the good old days (early 2000s) where the '27t' classes used to make the bulk of off-road entries in my local regionals.
I also did a few rounds of the Tamiya Eurocup with a Mini (all running 540 silver can motors) and it was hilariously close, fun racing.
I've always been a fan of spec racing classes, especially if they keep costs down, but they do require strict policing (scruitineering) to work, as Origineelreclamebord points out.
We are operating in an unprecedented era of equality now anyway! Back in the day there were 'special' batteries, speedos & motors, and they all cost an absolute fortune if you could get hold of them. But regardless of the gear, talent always rises to the top.
