They put them out with the thought of starting a new class.So my thought is if people are going to race them they are going brushless anyways right.
A lot of the reason they aren't released with a Brushless setup, is it is a new platform. There is no telling how they will sell. By releasing them with a cheaper set-up, they can get more people to "Take the hook" and pick them up a low price. If the sales are high, they will probably come out with a BL version.
Another thing to keep in mind, is people wanting a Spec class. In a Spec class, you are LUCKY to be able to change the radio system, let alone the motor/esc, etc. Spec classes are usually aimed at a lower cost vehicle, to keep the sales high. How many people would run out and drop $500-$600 on a "New Class" just to find out they don't like it?
I'll keep my God, my freedom, my guns, and my money. You can keep "THE CHANGE."
