Try this and you will realize that it's much more fun to race with 1/10 and 1/8 nitros, than having to try harder to convince the race organizers or others to accept lipo and BL. I am now thinking of lobbying for an open class where my pan car can compete with 1/10 or even 1/8 nitros.

Long live, Spektrum, Brushless and Lipo. I cant live without these 3 items.

FYI a pan car should already be faster on the track with equal motor equal batteries... Assuming the driver can drive You talking about 2 totally different chassis. The pan has twice the tire contact and almost half the weight
