Roar needs to take a page from the SCCA and allow some open classes, at autocross you can race anything you can get to the event. Of course, that means a turbo civic with a stripped interior gets to race against a 360 modena, but that is better than being told to go home.

How about starting with an open 1/10th off road class? Any truck, buggy, nitro or electric... an ss5800 will keep up with nitro... but an open class would encourage innovation like:

bigger nitro engines?

2 by 3 lipos? (4000 mah at 11.1 volts)

race truggies?

we don't need 30 minutes of runtime, so why not get 11.1 or 14.8 volts from packs that weigh the same as todays gp3300s?
