Would like to know the basis of the 'banned in every other class' statement?

Have just trawled the BRCA 1:10 electric off-road rules (here: http://www.brca.org/sites/default/fi...off%20road.pdf) and it clearly states:

23. CONSTRUCTION RULES - GENERAL

23.5 Any type of speed controller may be used but it must be contained within the car and not protrude through the body shell

Am with many of the others that banning them WILL put people of from entering this series as many of the RTR chassis come with Forward/Reverse ESC's and yes I do understand the implications of reversing into traffic and that marshalls may get slightly 'miffed' and going for a truck that has reverse capability but thought that this series was aimed at ALL drivers of ALL abilities with very few rules/regs to promote participation and not select rules that will put drivers off.
