Remember Lipo is like going back to 6 cells. On 6 cells a 1/12th car with a stock motor is faster than a Mod sedan with a 7 turn in it.
Its not a matter of guys hanging on to old technology. It a matter of guys running appropriate power packages for their cars.
Exactly right. Four cell 1/12th is a good balance of horsepower to handling, but even now begginners can become discouraged if they start out in anything but stock.
Driving Lingers car was a hoot, to be sure; but that was during practice. I'll bet the lap times weren't that impressive because the car was so difficult to control on the infield, and race with a bunch of cars like that out there would be a disaster.
