Whilst I agree that limiting the cells isn't my idea of Mod - you can't simply tell the motor and esc manufacturers to hurry up and catch up.

Don't you think they're already trying to release more reliable systems?

The problem is that is that the rate of battery development is MUCH quicker than the rate of motor/esc development.

Don't you think that if the motor/esc guys could develop stuff faster then they would?

We need to stall the development of the batterys until the motor/esc guys can catch up - the question is how?

The people who want to switch to less cells at least realise that this will "stall" battery development (in terms of voltage) for a while - even if in the long term it's not the final solution.
