Hi guys,

Coming back to the hobby after many years, discovered that at my local track people race touring cars with 8.5t motors without timing at the ESC (blinky). This is very unusual, right? I can't seem to find information about 8.5t blinky on-road...

I'd like some insights regarding battery choice. Should I go towards 'mod spec' batteries for better CG and wheight distribution or 'stock spec' would be a must as the 'punch' and capacity would be much needed in this case(?) . I don't have a clear understanding if a 8.5t motor at blinky mode would require a bigger battery than a 17.5t motor at blinky mode, for example (considering all the rest is equal - proper gearing, same weight, etc.). It's an asphalt track with mixed layout.

Thanks!
