I would really love to race 12th this coming indoor season, but won't be if I have to run packs that I have to monitor like a baby. and thus, you thoughts

my thoughts:
would rather run two cell so that I can still use my GTB (voltage cut-off) and not have to run a receiver pack. but then we run into problems: if a 12th stock car on 4 cells is faster then a tc stock on six cells, how fast will the 12th stock be with six cells? I am guessing somewhere around a 15 turn motor, which is a little much for me. I see that novak has a new 17.5 motor which may drop that 4cell equivalent.

also, if we are to "agree" on a type of pack, it would have to be able to fit in both saddle and straight chassis. May or may not be a big deal
LiPo is not legal yet for any sanctioned race, so it doesn't matter. If you are only concerned about the local track then take it up with the track owner.
