At our Summer Sizzler we ran 4 cell and 1s lipo together with weight restrictions :12th scale Summer Sizzler Rules
Jose suggested this would be good rules for 12th scale at the Sizzler.
13.5 being the motor best choices,
and Racer option either go 4 cell @ 865g or 1C @ 730g and the results were very close. This is from one of the racers.
Hey, some fun facts about the 1S lipo 12th cars running this past weekend.
4 out of 5 cars were powered by 1S.
The 4 cell car TQ'ed by only 4 seconds in a 6 minute abbreviated heats.
The 4 cell car won by only 3 feet in an 8 minute main.
The 1S car only needs one pack at $65.
The 4 cell car needs several at $55.
1S tire wear after 127 laps was .7mm.
Effective duration, 45-42mm: 535 laps.
Parts wear & tear after 8 events: 1.5 sets of tires, 1 body.
This was outdoor asphalt.Didn't mean to high jack your thread.

Well to get this 1S thing going I think I am going to commit to running Lipo in Edmonton when are club season starts. I think with running 10.5 a driver who is clean will reap some rewards from this setup. Or better yet I can give Wayne the car for a qualifier and see what he can do. That will then help determine if a weight reduction is warranted.

I think I'm going to do a few of these races this year. I've just got to decide on a second class to go along side super stock touring. Mini, GT, or 1/12th 19t? Which normally most popular? Is 1/12th a pretty expensive class to race? Also, I'm pretty sure this won't be possible, but, would the Tamiya F104 Pro be able to run in GT class? (that car looks amazing!!!!)
