Yeah, I also thought focus racing was for that, and at one time it really was.

To save money is open the tire deal to everybody, just make the durometer readings the same on the tires. Monopoly only benefits the supplier, it really doesn't benefit anyone else.If the company doing the monopoly wasn't making money, there wouldn't be a kickback.

As for motors, there are a ton of things you can do. Hard tires, narrower wheels and tires. If you can't put it to the ground, it isn't needed. Less horsepower.

Regulate injector size,You limit the amount of air in a motor, you also limit horsepower. These two fixes are cheap and easy. You could do these on your existing parts. You would only spend money on rubber, and you have to buy anyway.

The hardest part is finding the willingness to take the first step.
