Hi all! just thought id bring up this issue. japan has gone to 4-cell to reduce cost and speed. apparently other countries are considering following them. i cant see why the electric racers are being penalised when all i want is to go quicker
. they reckon safety is the reason!!! hara was clocked at the DHI cup at 58mph - so what - mark greens lap record of crystal palace with his 1/8th is 60mph average!
whats worse a 60mph 1.5kg electric or a kicking and screaming 100mph 1/8th!?
i know restrictions are put on engine construction for these rockets but it don't knock that much off them!!
also lipo cannot achieve 4.8v with the current cells knocking them straight out.the use of lipo and brushless in the long run is much cheaper and very much quicker.
let me know what you think
