I remember reading a while back about a guy in the UK running a 1/18th scale tekin brushless system in a CRC car with a 2 cell lipo. If memory serves he said with the 8.0KV motor is was comparable speed wise to the 19T cars at his local track.

A LiPo option for 12th scale would defiantly get me back into one. 12th is my favorite carpet class but with no local tracks to run on I just can't justify the battery cost for only a couple regional events a year.
