I can think if several reasons for the ruling.

1) It makes it easier for judges. They con't have to INSPECT to make sure you have a particular speed controller n a particular motor on a particular fuse.

2) Its called leveling the playng field. It will keep older teams from having such an advantage over rookie teams.

3) Then there is of course safety....probably the big reason. Another 30% current is not insignificant....(though safety also goes along with reason #1)

No, we just think its unfair to not let us use them for the motors that dont require 40 amps, some of us are personally paying for parts out of pocket due to lack of funds, and just having these lay around and not be able to use them is bad. We dont like the idea that we are forced to buy more from innovationfirst even though they are not a safety hazard and will work just as well. I begin to wounder what the exact pourpose of that rule was trying to accomplish, as far as I can see - only to force us to buy new things we already have just so they can make more $$$
