Lightbulb So, in an attempt to "Confront Boredom".............

As someone who has never liked 1s Lipo power for WGT's, I took my Gen X10 LE as was configured for the ROAR Carpet Nats and for FUN, made the following changes:

Add 1 Losi 3800 60C 7.4Volt LiPo (LOSB9880), w/Xray 25.5mm Alum standoffs to raise the upper deck to fit the LiPo.

Revised the Body Posts to Fit an "Already Painted Red Bull Mulsane Body" I had laying around collecting Dust.

Add some Jaco Pink Tires cut down to 56mm Front, 60mm Rear, (also laying around collecting dust), reduce rollout down to 40mm "Ballpark" to startoff.

These changes raised the weight from 930 to 990 grams, leaving the Tekin RS in the same location as for 1s legal WGT racing, however, now the Car has very decent "Rip" with a 13.5T DUO 3 and handles very well with the additional weight! I think it would now be possible/reasonable to "Motor Down" to 17.5T, or even 21.5T and the Cars could be Real Fun Parking Lot Racers........My .02, (or at least what I'd love to see happen).
