guys, i have tried VXR 7.4V 2100 mAh Lipo on my 1/12. The Esc was a sphere competition and the motor was a Novak 5800 BL. I gear it with 100/23. The ESC was set to low traction track to minimize any traction problem. The total weight was about 650g cause the lipo battery was much lighter than the 4 cell sub c.

My god, this small thing accelerated faster than any electric car I've driven. The motor was screaming as it reaches maximum revolution easily. The top speed was also great. I can actually gear it to 100/25 for faster top end.

It still retains tight turning radius due to its super lightweight. Someone should try it and make sure a videocam is ready.
