Why not just try to understand it for a change?
Kind of just try.

Well, I talk to most of these industry insiders on a weekly basis....many of which I spend thousands of dollars a month with.....while adrian umm, does nothing...
I have spoke to many of them and they claim they have rarely if ever talked to Adrian, especially regarding these matters...
I for one......call BS on it...

Why not do the same in this situation for the 2008 season? If they believe this is this is truly a better option what is the harm in letting us experience it first hand??? The ONLY viable testing that I have seen PUBLICLY were the J-Nats. And from that event it doesn't look as if "4 Cell" is the way to proceed for TC.
It sounds like life or death...Many within EFRA wanted 4-cells as well, but 5 was some kind of compromice. EFRA very well might "take another cell" next year and go 4-cell in 2008.

I've been racing since late 1987.....I can't ever remember seeing a 6 cell hump pack ever used in every form of racing...
When I started.....6 cell was stock, 7 cell mod......then the RACERS figured out 6 cells worked better....7 cell was removed AFTER the fact...
Go into ANY hobby shop....ask for a battery pack.....7.2 volts 6 cell is what they will hand you.....go to RADIO SHACK or Toys R Us.....samething....
6 cell 7.2 volt sub c is the standard.....plain and simple.

Life and death...that's exactly the point...maybe you should ask Adrian because that's how they make it out to be for the sport, for clubs and for big events!!! Isn't it so easy to say what EFRA MAY do without it being done to support your argument

That have nothing to do with life or death. Not for anyone.

You are MISSING the point. Let me spell it out for you: Life and death of racing. Is that clear enough????

But I disagree. Not that I know whatīs the answer actually is. Not at all. But I realy canīt see it so black & white, so I get upset about it. I see it as something new. Worth to try. If it works; Great. If it not; Change.
Itīs like a marrige. It suppose to be for life. But if it sucks, well, divorse and go on. New adventures ahead!

Why change the cells if it's believed the motors and speedos need be fixed and updated? Why take the only piece of the equation that actually WORKS EVERY TIME, and limit it, rather than fix the problem?

Anders that is my point, let us try it but don't try and force it upon us without us trying it first hand. Before 19T became a true class at ROAR events they ran provisional classes...the same should be done in this situation.
