Yeah, the amp may be rated at 20w into 4 ohms, but run it down to 1/2 ohm and you get 8x the power. Really, the only way to make things fair for everyone and not rely on how much cash you can throw at it would be to specify the exact battery, ESC, motor, suspension, etc to use. Basically, give everyone carbon copies of the same car and the only thing you can do it tweak the suspension for handling. That's it. What's next; the 1 NiMH cell class?

I still have my Orion and Memphins 25W x 2 cheating amps. I ran the Orion all the way down to 1/4 ohm and yes it was sick.

Like I said before, if ROAR wants to keep everything fairly cheap, they should handout esc/motor and now packs lol.
