2.) My idea​ for a LiPo line offering was based around the fact that most people in offroad try to lighten their trucks by using things like titanium screw kits or carbon fibre parts.

3.) It doesn't matter if LiHV holds a 1-2% higher average voltage while discharging if the reasoning behind this ability is simply the fact that the packs contain Graphine. The new SMC extreme Graphine V2 LiPos are standard 4.20V max per cell and have that same ability.

4.) There is no arguing the fact that LiHV is a waste of weight in racing. Yes, that may be a good thing for you on road guys but thats NOT a good thing for offroad. When you charge a LiHV 5600mAH pack to ROAR legal 4.20V per cell, you are only getting 5000mAH of the capacity charged. So instead of using 5600mAH LiHV cells, it would be FAR more weight efficient to use smaller, 5000mAH standard voltage cells.
