At the end of the day, the Spec motor is still the better option.

2 will buy 3 motors
2 will buy 2 motors
the rest will only buy 1 motor and they will all still finish in the exact same spot as they normall would with or without a handout motor ..... but this time there will only be 1/10s of a second between them and others vs seconds with open motor ... and I’m 99% sure if you put all there motors in a box and did a random draw they would still finish in the exact same order ,
buying multiple right spec handout motors is more about reassurance and confidence instead of lottery luck speed .

The whole point of the spec motor is to tighten the field and reduce cost. If the spec is cheap, most people will buy in cus they don't feel obligated to spend $200 on a full on motor just to keep up. Of course the guys who drive well and don't make mistakes will win, but the disparity of speed as it stands now between cheap motors and expensive ones is huge! Taking that variable away will only highlight clean lines and force everyone to drive better. Practice doesn't empty your pocket like motor of the month scenario and everyone benefits if we all drive better and fun goes up! Isn't that the goal?

yes the big sticks hold better voltage than any given equal quality smaller pack ... but they are heavy and require ballist on electronics side making for a wider weight foot print .
We over at the track EA owns have all decided that it’s over rated .
The smaller EA 5200 packs still have great resistance but since they are 250g they are almost a perfect match to the electronics across from it once in the car ... so all added weight can be added lower and more to the center allowing for a easier to drive car that’s more agile.

higher capacity batteries can deliver a combination of higher voltage or current over time hypothetically. It takes more work to accelerate a larger mass so until the clock or a test provides details its just a theory but plausible.

meaning small packs will rule .
Now these are actual 21.5 motors with locked timing . So it might be slightly different but until someone tests and determine what kind of power is used thru out a run we can only speculate ... but with us running a Super stock speed tc with 10.5 motors at apex large batteries don’t give any advantage on the track at all by no one

Not really looking forward to buying another spec motor for a class that already has one. I get it that many feel hurt that usgt is using a canam motor in many regions but now the end consumer gets to fit the bill, not the right direction if we are trying to grow the sport.

1380 is min weight for USGT, correct?
If 2 cars both weigh 1380 and 1 has a 8200 mah battery and 1 has a 5200 mah battery I want the 8200, no?
