Brushless motors from 10.5t or above or any brushed motor
Open tyres
Open radio gear
While this make not make the racing as "fair" as possible, I think rules along these lines would be the most fun, cheapest for the racer, and lead to a higher number of people racing in the class, which is the most important thing.
Thanks, Jon.

I agree - it is a fun class, and making it accessible and open to the widest number of racers should be the most important thing, as well as flexibility on the night. As I noted above, I think we only need to introduce a motor limit if we find we get problems... (Have to say I'm not terribly keen on having to buy a 17.5 and ESC combo if I don't have to right now... Tho will probably get them down the line
)
Hadn't thought about other pre-2000 classes, but I wouldn't have a problem racing my RC10 against 4wd's (back in the day 2wds were all in with 4wd anyway...), and might be interesting to have some monster trucks in there too! Richards e-firestorm went really well around the track last week, and didn't cause any problems space-wise, so should be fine (there's gotta be loads of lunchboxes out there, but a Clod-buster on the track might prove interesting!).
I guess it could be open to 1/12 vintage off-road too (e.g. Lunchbox).
I've got the tyres now; just hoping the RC10 wheels to fit them turn up tomorrow...
Let's chat more tomorrow eve when there is a free 5 mins!
Matt, have you thought about a basic web site to put all this kind of info on?
FB page is great for announcements, but not too good for static info...
