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!!
