Joost...your earlier argument was that LiPo would not fit...I was just pointing out that it will. With just about every other class going to LiPo now, sooner or later 1/12th is going to be forced to find an alternative to NiXX based sub C cells. It's much better to be doing experimentation now to be ready in the future. Think of what a LiPo and 380 sized spec for 1/12th could do to for a future 1/12th class...lighter cars, less broken parts, smaller rear pod, more chassis space, lower rear pod, easier to fit bodies, and the list goes on. A lot of changes will have to be made to eventualy get there but it is a possibility. I think with the lighter car weight softer tire compounds will have to be used all around they what we use today.
