My suggestions for varying speed limits is to first, for safety, and second, to enhance playability. In regards to safety, the larger a tank is, the slower it should be IMO (particularity if the hobby grows and we start seeing larger number of mobile assets on the field). As for playability, differing size classes with corresponding speed limits would offer interesting playing style options for battlers. Besides, speed limits wouldn't necessarily have to be enforced for all battles.

I also realize that a considerable amount of time and effort went into developing these tanks under the assumption of a 4 point rating so I'm all for grand-fathering them as heavy's if John and Paul so desire. If the ratings proposal is adopted and new battlers show up with new-build 3 point lights, I'd hope John and Paul would consider dropping a point during the battle for the sake of sportsmanship.
