You're lucky, there are only 2 racing chassis types made, buggy, and truggy. Add to that the fact that the 0.21 motors are well supported and almost exclusively used, and it's not hard.
Look at Electric. We have AT LEAST these chassis types which are run competitively in NZ:
1/12 pan
1/10 pan (maybe)
1/10 Touring
1/10 Mini
1/10 F1

Then to mix it up multiply 1/2 of those with the following various motor types:
Stock / Silver can
Superstock / 13.5 Brushless
Modified

And currently used battery types of:
Ni Cad
Ni Mh
Lipo
Life

And you get a gigantic tangle of classes that have evolved due to developments in technology over the last 10 years.

Sooner or later we will have no choice but to let go of little supported technology (both Nationally and Internationally), and have a few people need to change and then realise what they have been missing out on.

Going from NiCd and Brushed to Lipo and Brushless is like going from masturbating to (ahem).

Don't forget 1/10 2wd buggy, 1/10 4wd buggy, 1/10 Truck, 1/8 buggy, 1/8 truggy!!

Personally I think this sort of discussion needs to be lead by someone on the NZRCA Committee and maybe we need to look at 1x class of car at a time and all racers that race in that class or has experiance need to vote on the changes we want to see implemented once we come up with the changes that could be PMed to the committee member and he or she then uses these proposed changes to come up with a final list that we the races vote on...hows that or does someone have a better idea? :lol:

It's the usual story mate. "Talk to your zone steward and they can bring it to the NZRCA comittee for discussion", or "use your voice at your local club and get a remit backed for a change". Stuff like that. You know, democratic process, like the politicians do.....

Yes Lord Vader. I agree. I will assemble the Storm Trooper boarding party once we reach Alderan. Then the futile NZRCA resistance will have no chance.
Mwoahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Sorry, long day.
