They do, but remember 2012? The superpowered FPs were so hard to find, and I remember a lot of teams complaining about the race to get those.

If anything, I would say allow motors by brand, and specifically allow a few different brands. That way the teams that needed could walk into their local hobby store and get some RC car motors, or a place like AM could sell specific ones that meet teams needs, such as the current 775 and 550.
