I'd expect that 2S for 1/12 would use different batteries than what TC uses (LCG shorties instead of sticks)? So they would have to get new batteries anyway...
And you can just get a $5-10 voltage booster to run a 2S ESC with a 1S battery (a lot of the A final racers at the Worlds did that, in fact), not much of a saving there?
