Since when is FAST a bad thing when playing with toy cars (or any car for that matter)? If you think there should be separate 21.5, 17.5, 13.5, and “mod” classes, you are an idiot. If you think 3S, 6S, 8S, or whatever high cell count batteries should be illegal, ditto. Separating by novice, intermediate, and expert ABILITY is the more responsible way of dividing classes. Brian Kinwald WILL beat you (yes, YOU) with a 17.5 or a 4.5, it doesn’t matter what motor you are using. Give a novice driver a 3.5 motor on a 6S Lipo pack and he’ll be far slower than a 21.5 on 6 cell Ni-mh. If you allow drivers to use ANY cell count or motor wind available, they will eventually end up using what works best for them (and it’s not going to be the 8S Lipo 9000kv motor combo I PROMISE you that). The “stock” class might have worked as intended for a short time after it was introduced 20 years ago, but it’s been a joke since, and it’s just F’n stupid during the brushless age. Separate by ability, not by the motor of the day.

Not really sure i agree with that line, we have classes to keep things fair between racers and keep it fun, throwing everyone together is not much fun,
