Questions?? 3s in the 4WD SCT Class?

Just want to hear some opinions about this. Tracks across the country are starting to allow this and it really does make sense. The class has changed and we’re now pushing our 2s packs to the limit.

As you all know, 4x4's really are battery killers. This would not only solve that problem, but hopefully draw more people to the class as a result. The whole idea is to run a low kv motor (2500-3300) paired with a 3s to decrease battery strain and increase total run times. I've read that some guys are getting 20 minutes off a 5000mah 3s!

I don't want to start some kind of riot, just want to hear what you guys think.

For proof, here's a clip of our old SCTE running on 3s with a 6.5t (3400kv). Power-wise it looks just like a 2s. It just lasts a whole lot longer and you won't puff your batteries.
