ted,
i agree mc49 class should be left for newbes or at least guys running basically stock motors.
while it's complicated it is possible to build a stock appearing mc49 that hold it's own with much "bigger" motors.
running against these motors with a stock mc49 is frustrating to put it mildly.
while there isn't a guideline forbidding modifications the original intent of the mc49 class was stock motors.
when the class was first introduced it was wildly popular until the "legal" modified motors showed up.
the much faster mc49's created a modification war between the skilled builders.
that killed the fun vibe for those just wanting to run stock motors.
it took several years but now that class is pretty thin.
it would be nice to return the class to it's original intent.
a stock mc49 motor for newbes and guys who want a mellower grid experience .
