Basher`s are actually the ones buying up all those used Nk-Ml pack`s & charger`s you see overflowing the "for sale" forum`s .....

Waiting for ROAR is a waste of time. If I'm not mistaken the biggest sedan class in this year's Northwest Indoor Championship Series is the Outlaw class. That's 10.5 brushless motors and lipo's. Everyone excepting a few old gummers is thrilled to run ONE battery for a whole weekend of quals and mains. We love it. It's wall to wall lipo's in Seattle, and more coming with the good news about TCS. And btw, I love my gold Trakpower. I'm happy to see Reedy jumping on board, too.

I've heard this before but NEVER understood it.

GIVE ME LIGHT STUFF - let ME add the weight WHERE I want it...

Lead WEIGHTS are Ugly - but why on earth would I want a 3 lb BRICK in my car if I could put a 1/2lb brick in it instead.

I know, how about adding weight by running 2 LIPO packs in Parallel...DOUBLE your fun.

coz we want to race with it, and thus have to make min weight limits. and also for balance reasons

And for the record, the BRCA are allowing LiPo in the 19t/10.5t class for 2008.

.....wrong........why would you want heavier?.......lighter equals less broken parts..........i'll be back to EP when the Nimh battery wars are over..........

This makes no sense why they would not allow LiPo's for use in stock racing. I think we have proven that laptimes are marginally slower with LiPo than NiMh, just more consistent throughout the race. It just doesn't make financial sense to have 4 to 6 NiMh packs for STOCK club racing following BRCA rules.

With a single LiPo battery, you can run all your practice laps, qualifiers, and main race. Another plus is that you only need 1-charger. Also, no discharging equipment, and no battery maintenance other than charging the battery is required anymore.

I can see reason why people are taking time on approving brushless motors, but LiPo batteries are more logical and feasible.

Is there any chance we'll know what cells Reedy is using?

This is the way I see it. my Orion 3200 lipos discharge at 5.66 V at 35 amps, my worst IB3800 hits 6.4V at 35 amps. I would love to run lipo but they seem a little flat running stock or 19 turn, they would probably be fine in a mod, you could just drop a turn or two. Lipo also does not yet work in 12 scale, so I will be running Nimhs for a while and keeping my lipos to play with. I realy like the look of these reedy ones and if I can borrow one from someone in the pit and check the load, if it comes close I will be buying some, if not I can wait. With all the differerent brands of lipos and nimhs lately a person should carefully investigate each for power and reliability before jumping any bandwagons.

hmmm, you must be an oval dude. There is simply not enough room on modern TC's where you can add weight and it not look like crap. Then you dont get to add weight where you want it, because there is no room on the chassis for 8 ounces.

I had 5 3200's and sold them all because my cars looked like shit with lead builion everywhere. 'Till there is more weight in a lipo..... No thanks.

Interesting MR UNLIMITED!
Please educate me as I thought that the 1st BallDiff designed
and put in to production Circa 1976 was by Team Associated (USA)
in their 1/8 On-Road RC250. Will stand by to hear back from
you on the 1st Euro built / based car that had a ball diff pre 80's.

Later!
