Those block packs are pretty nice 
I don't want one yet (until more companies have them so the price gets a little better) but give it half a year or so and I'm in
Now would the 'block' pack be the one on the right or three from the right? The one on the far right looks shmecksy… I love it when the bullet connectors are recessed like that

for me too usually, but since I'm not buying anything until close to March it works for me

Team Orion introduce their new Carbon Pro 100C LiPo battery packs. Coming in Team Orion’s patented carbon look hardcase the batteries are build using the latest generation LiPo cells with enhanced energy density, a very low internal resistance and 100C discharge rate. The packs, that are build to meet ROAR, EFRA, BRCA and IFMAR specifications, are 5C chargeable and come in a wide range of configurations including 2S standard, shorty, saddle and saddle block packs as well as a 1/12th 1S pack.
Block pack? same as the square?

I remember those worlds very well
Back when you had to buy the magazine to read about it Don't believe him that the track was rough? Check this out and see if you can count how many times the car 'hops' in one lap

Yep,
I raced at the worlds there. By the end the track was like the moon. Dusty full of holes.
What the video for the hair pin on the right hand side, bringing you into the blue jump in the middle of the track.
By the end that hair pin had a huge hole at the apex. You could see the car disappear into it!!

What's the point?
And FYI, no pack can do 100c discharge rate. Not steadily anyway, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's nothing more than a marketing ploy which some others have used. It MIGHT reach 100c for a very brief split second but for the most part it's going to be somewhere around 80-ish. 60-70c is thoroughly powerful and packs that do 80 even more so. I've spoken to a few Battery manufacturers who shared a ton of knowledge and the reasons they've not produced 100c packs and the consistent answer I got was that it's not possible to sustain currently and even producing 80 is a bit much so they stick with discharge rates they can produce with a solid constant rate.

Looks as if their Saddle Block will require a jumper??!?!??

I have also talked to several battery companies and it seems the only thing that mater is IR and how well the pack maintains a low IR. Some of my packs have a great IR at the start but triple over the first month. and others have a higher IR at the start, but end up being lower than other after 1-2 months of use. I assume this goes to the quality of the pack. But I have have 40c packs with lower IR than packs that are 70c. So, I have little o no faith in these battery companies.

The 2005 track
I doubt that you will ever see a worlds run on a track like that again.
2wd racing has evolved into higher speed tracks with big air that are smoother. Name the last major race that was held on a track like that.
Not to mention that was almost 10 years ago.
