few things
A)We don't actually have that many racers in the uk compared to say the USA, this means you normally find its the same people doing all classes 2wd,4wd,shortcourse,truck 8th etc which is why so many classes just don't get the support as racers don't want to spread their budget to thin and just don't have the time
B)most racers will sell there right arm to go fast! and they're not particular interested in anything designed to slow things down.
C) 17.5 etc on most uk high grip tracks would be like slot car racing, that would mean its all about car/batterys tyres etc thus ending up riddled with rules. This in the end will probably cost more than just running a normal buggy .
D) I agree it would be nice to see a rule limiting the number of sets of tyres used rather than just the type of tyre but policing it is a nightmare and I can think of one uk manufacturer that would be less than keen on it being an idea that would take off

Just my point of view on the matter, not wanting to stir anyone up
