Don't fear change. This happened with oval several years ago, and the change has been for the better. 4 cell oval classes now are faster than their 6 cell counterparts of a few years ago.

yeah, when 6-cell oval was running 2000-3000mah packs with the stock motor technology from 7-8 years ago. some still run 6-cell pan oval classes, it is a very small group, but still run. 6 cell maximum, still in the ROAR 2006 Rules.

the most popular oval classes are 27T/13.5 or 19T/4300 with BL taking over more and more every weekend it seems. Most Oval tracks are smaller than back then also, 6-cells in any pan class these days is considered overkill.

TC weigh more than pancars and can only be lightened up very little. in my opinion 27T and 13.5BL would need to be reconsidered due to the TC weight.
has anyone done a test with a 4-cell TC to see what motor with 4, would equal out to a 27T/13.5 with 6? maybe 19t or 4300/10.5 motors would be the new stock
