alright 12th guys, we need to talk...

...about lipo

I would really love to race 12th this coming indoor season, but won't be if I have to run packs that I have to monitor like a baby. and thus, you thoughts

my thoughts:
would rather run two cell so that I can still use my GTB (voltage cut-off) and not have to run a receiver pack. but then we run into problems: if a 12th stock car on 4 cells is faster then a tc stock on six cells, how fast will the 12th stock be with six cells? I am guessing somewhere around a 15 turn motor, which is a little much for me. I see that novak has a new 17.5 motor which may drop that 4cell equivalent.

also, if we are to "agree" on a type of pack, it would have to be able to fit in both saddle and straight chassis. May or may not be a big deal
