For me 1/12th mod would benefit from:
2s shorty batteries- more efficient, cheaper and widely available;
Capping rear spoiler height for decrease in downforce and tire wear, if not the race to higher and higher downforce will never end.
I think it's just that, bringing the speed down by having less "aero grip" and going to more efficient electronic setup would widen the target audience. About higher voltage, remember no one is prohibiting from running a boosted 3.5 with 2s voltage but that's not realistically possible so I think a "wind cap" or gentleman's agreement will ensue.
I'm confused. You're saying that to make it more accessible to more people, you want to give the cars more speed, with less grip, using more expensive batteries. I'm not sold if I'm honest!!
I've said for some years mod 12th needs to change. I don't have the answer, but I think fair play to the uk guys who went to out egm and decided that there was something that was at least worth a try. May not appeal to the purest, but you never know it just might help.
