[QUOTE="tapeworm, post: 1814955, member: 26846"] Mr. Mohr yes, essentially class 18 but with a few upgrades and still the 100 inch wheelbase so all cars are still on the same playing field. It's been proven time and time again that an old 16 car can be updated to be competitive so without that wheelbase limit that class 18 won't ever gain interest. I was thinking with a few minor mods a class 9 car could be converted into an 18 car for a reasonable amount of money and go longer in between major services. Really, the only rule I want to see changed is the stupid engine tin rule. Just allow us to run the offroad tins instead of the stock vw stuff. No performance gain and easier to deal with at this point. I wouldn't mind disc brakes because the rear drums are expensive but I'm not going to make a push for that. I'm also not going to make a push for power steering. Again, this is just meant to be a fun BS type thread to get people talking. There hasn't been too much banter in this section lately so I'm just trying to get some going. I'm not going to try to change any rules. I want to make that clear. [/QUOTE]
