I already run a 10.5t in 2WD and I'm pretty much as quick as the 6.5t/7.5t motors when it comes to a complete race on a smaller track like at Mendip. I think you'd want something like a 17.5t to make the classes different enough, otherwise they're just too similar and not worthwhile - 17.5t is what the yanks run in stock.

If you look at classes like GT12 then its all about finding that extra edge, thats through high Amp charging or buying every new motor out and tuning them. The cost of tyres is far cheaper the extra cost to do that.
Most offroad tracks are more tyre reliant than power. On bumpier tracks you simply can't pin it everywhere (with carpet and a few others being the exception)

When are some clubs going to be innovative enough to start a 17.5t class then? There's enough discussion going on to make it appealing
