Also that is defently a track where the speedmerchant would absolutly stomp the competition, espically the new V-force front end.
I asked at the track what people thought of 4 cell and they said it was very difficult to make 8 mins (don't know what motor) and it didn't have any advantage over 6 cell.
It's not normal carpet and traction compound is not allowed, so there isn't a groove but there is still quite good traction if tuned right (sometimes grip-roll)
I don't really want to have to buy more packs just for 1/12th and find out it's slower than 6 cell. Do you think a Roadkill with V-force front end would be OK for that track?
Could I just put 4 cells in the 6cell chassis to try out or would the balance be way off?
Thanks for the help
