Sigh....

The lower internal resistance of the new batteries allow our motors to utilize current at a higher rate than was possible with the older design batteries. This coupled with our "racing" motors' inherent inefficiencies promote a quicker degradation in performace than was possible before. A new way of tuning our motors is needed to allow them to handle the new batteries' ability to allow current to flow in the circuit.

How about....The batteries have more POWER so we have to RE-TUNE our motors so they don't burn up so fast. It is not 100% accurate but it gets the point across without the "slide rule" explanations.

Then next thing you know we will be taking into account the gravitaional constant as well as the Earth's rotation in account when doing our laptime calculations......
