There should be only two rules:

1) Commericially available in the UK.

2) Any racer should be able to challenge you for your item (motor, esc, lipo etc) for the UK list price of that item plus a small fee for the inconvience to you.

So you can create a cheating motor if you want, but anybody you beat has the right to buy it off you so the advantage is temporary at best.
Safety should also be covered by that if we want to - lipos that catch fire in normal use are hardly 'fit for purpose'.


As for the box - What bugs me is that standard out of the box cars frequently don't fit in the box. WTF? I assume manufacturers make them to the maximum size the rules allow, and some variance occurs which means a few are over, but the result is a silly rule that requires club racers at big events to start filing axles like mad (Team drivers normally check this before the meeting!) when they weren't even trying to cheat in the first place!


Anyway just remember rules aren't meant to make racing be fair, just to give the illusion that its fair.
