On a positive note: Their 1/12 cars are simply the best I've ever driven (and I've tried em all.

With all do respect dear Sir...those of us who have run pro10 pan cars recently, not 7,8,10,15 yrs ago using old cells and 27t brushed motors of 10 yrs ago...but rather 10.5BL motors, 4.5 BL motors, and 7.4v Lipos, etc...today's best BL motor and Lipo tech, have explained time and time again, that a 200mm Pan car, with 10.5 BL and 7.4V Lipo, is not as fast down the straight as 4.5T BL Tourinr cars, but they are much faster in corner speed and infield than TC's, which make as fast over all per lap, than as mod TC's, but they are much easier to drive than mod TCs, which means those experienced with 1/12 scale 19T, or mod TC or 10.5/19T TC, can easily get used to and drive a 200mm pan car with 10.5BL and 7.4v Lipo.
We used to race 6 cell 27T Pro-10 in the state series. The last race we ran that class was Minnreg in 2001. I TQ'd and won the A-main with more laps than the Mod sedan A-main. My fast lap was a 9.9....the fastest mod sedan lap was a 10.1. I know this because the time sheets are under the trophy on a shelf to my right.
A few weeks ago I was testing the BMI DB10R with a 10.5 on 4 cells. I was keeping up with Austin Harrison running a sedan with a 4.5 and Lipo. He was a little faster than me but not much at all.
If you are not as fast as a mod sedan with a 10.5 on Lipo you are doing something seriously wrong.

Yohan, listen man stop comparing what your doing at coral springs with what the rest of us have done. Fooling around on a pratice track is not indicative what would be true at a state or national level race the level of driving is much higher then you will ever know unless you see it for your self.
If with a 4 cell 19t 12th scale pancar I can be 2 to 3tenths per lap faster , then a 10th scale with same power plant and batteries I will be on par with a touring mod lapp times. You need to practice more homie!!!

yyhayim,
One of the biggest issues with 10th pan is that these cars basically became land missiles. Of course the fact that in 6 cell it got caught up in the motor and battery wars (much as TC is now) didnt help things either. One thing that is helping VTA is the speed (or lack thereof). If you look at the VTA discussion, those guys are having an absolute blast out there racing and many of the tracks run it using 4 cells. I dont see why that sort of thing cant be done for 10th pan. And apprently there are those who have run 4 cell 10th pan that do not find it all that slow so it can be done. I set out a potential baseline but I think those who said that w eshould let the guys work it out on the track for themselves have a great point.

I have raced the Florida state series for years. I have race at your local track several times. Every time I have raced there Tim, Hector, Mike Bruce and I are ~2/10th faster per lap than the mod sedans with our 4 cell 19T brushed 1/12th cars.
We used to race 6 cell 27T Pro-10 in the state series. The last race we ran that class was Minnreg in 2001. I TQ'd and won the A-main with more laps than the Mod sedan A-main. My fast lap was a 9.9....the fastest mod sedan lap was a 10.1. I know this because the time sheets are under the trophy on a shelf to my right.

my 200mm CRC Pantoura with 10.5BL and 7.4 lipo was FASTER per lap, than mod TC's with both 4.5 and 3.5 BL and Lipo. All I'm saying tha on our track with our layout, the 200mm, and my wide 235mm Pan cars with 10.5 and Lipo, were not as fast on the 140ft straight over all...however downt he sweeper and into the infield, the TCs are toast. You can easily be .3-.4 sec faster per lap than mod TCs on OUR track layout...
Again, I have repeatedly stated a pro10 w/ 10.5BL and 7.4v Lipo pan car IS FASTER per lap than mod TCs...dont know where you think I'm saying other wise- so I wish to clear that up. I agree with you that they are faster per lap, but in my testing, on our track's layout, a really good TC with 4.5 or 3.5 BL power can be a bit faster down our straight than our 200mm pan car with 10.5BL and 7.4v Lipo. that's all...

Yeah there is!

)Also, no need to compare 1/12 pan car to 1/10 TCs...everyone knows that 1/12 scale 4 cell 19T is faster than TCs...its not a secret. No lectures needed here about that, bro...
But again, In My experience, on my testing and comparing, my car, not your ballistic 200mm 1990's pan car, with 1990's 27T brushed motors and cells, was not as fast down the straight as a 4.5-3.5BL TCs...the 4WD can just pull harder out into the straight... and no, theres nothing wrong with the car or set up. Its working great and the proof is that I was on average .4-.5 sec faster per lap than mod TC, as explained already.

Just need to add a 17.5 Motor and go.
This whole 6-cell motor debate is killing me.
I am an average driver, and I have driven 1:12 cars and sedans, and 1:10 oval. At a Hobbytown parking lot race I was able to go 26laps in my 1:12 car while the 19T Sedans (including myself) only turned 25laps. The same is true at my carpet track which is a tight technical layout. The stock 1:12 is faster then the 13.5 Sedans by a few tenths. There is just something about a pan car that becuase it is simple, it is FAST. Granted 1:12 cars weigh less, but so do PRO10 cars comparted to sedans.
4-cell 10.5 PRO10's will be plenty fast enough for 95% of the racers. The other 5% are either fooling themselves or national champions.

With all due respect my friend: I am not comparing what I have done with you have done. None of that anywhere. Second, I am not fooling around at Coral Springs track. I actually went out and tested with my 200mm pan car, as well as 235mm for several months, worling on set up and trying out different bodies, tire combos, traction compounds, etc...learning how thes cars work, running them at least for 7-8 runs per week, with hours of set up and testing in between. Fooling around as you wish to call my effort to learn thse cars and learn for myself so I can speak for my self on the topic based on my experience with them, not mere hearsay (si me quieres abochornar, mandame un PM...no tinenes que describirme de esa forma en publico, acere...)
Also, no need to compare 1/12 pan car to 1/10 TCs...everyone knows that 1/12 scale 4 cell 19T is faster than TCs...its not a secret. No lectures needed here about that, bro...
But again, In My experience, on my testing and comparing, my car, not your ballistic 200mm 1990's pan car, with 1990's 27T brushed motors and cells, was not as fast down the straight as a 4.5-3.5BL TCs...the 4WD can just pull harder out into the straight... and no, theres nothing wrong with the car or set up.

Yohan read my post again! its about how a 10th scale pancar with a 4cell pack with a mod motor should have close to equal lap times. . ok acere! consorte, molina!!!
About your other post # 278 to Adrian. We where faster with the equipment in the 90's ,so why not now with modern 2008 equipment?
The pan cars are way lighter then a tourer, shouldn't the pancar be faster?
With no disrespect to your driving, a pancer with 7.4v lipo battery and 10.5 brushless motor should kill the tourer. A properly set up pancar with someone that knows how not to scrub speed coming out of a corner will out run the tourer everywhere. Its very easy to scrub speed on a foam car.
Also nothing wrong with coral springs you just can't get a proper feel on a green track with no groove.
come mierda !!! Take it lightly!! you still suck pipe banger! bro'de ponte las pilas!!!! No choques tanto!!! Dame un timbre!!

Thank you Hector this Yohan guy is an expert - just because he's tested it means it true. Exaltly how many state , Regional or Nationals races have you ever run? Your just a local racer in southern Florida.I don't claim to be an expert but knows what has worked in the past- why it died in the past and what the new manufacturers would like see happen.Until most of us see your name practicpating in any of the events list above your just talk.

Why does it matter if pro10 is faster or slower than TC's? 
The object is to get as many people doing it with maximum fun and fairness.
If a tc driver wants to have a go of pro10 you are putting a big discouragement factor on him by forcing him to buy new nimh packs. Removing 2 cell is not going to work then you end up with lots of odd pairs of cells.
It seems to me we have a very vocal 12th/oval crowed here who do not think outside of that bubble.
Now we have very nicely matched 19t/10.5 it's gota be a no brainer. The power will be comparable to the days when we had national in the uk and we were running 10-14 turn motors. The speeds were fine, that's not the reason it died. It's just that TC boomed and took everyone away. It was like a fashion thing.
When I tried 4 cell mod there was nothing wrong with how the car handled or the speed. It was a nice amount of power. But not wanting to EVER run nimh's again 19t lipo will do me fine
.
We will probably be racing a RWD class at West London again this summer. It's open to anything rwd. Tamiya f1's even. We had tamiya f103, f1's 235mm pro10's all together. It was like a true le mans atmosphere.
