Yeah, I think it would be fun to try, problem is... people get the wrong idea :>

Please update us on the 3.7 deal... This is actually something that we have talked about on the ROAR on road forum when discussing Lipo's in general... I bet witha 10 turn.. it will be similar to 19t or stock.. .and that is respectable,,, Crazy light and limited tire wear....

Now step it up with a 3c lipo with a 6 turn....

My next experiment will be to try a 3.7V lipo in a 1/12 scale. I could rewire the 4.0 Ah 7.4V lipo that I have in there right now into a monster 8.0Ah 3.7V pack. It would be like running a 3 cell NIMH with super low IR. Hopefully the speed will be decent. I guess a receiver pack will be a must.
