my oppinion is never rule anything out until you try it.i will be trying out lipo shortly just to see how the cars work.on carpet im sure it will be fine with all of the traction but the true test is asphalt.limited traction will let us know if there is enough weight in the car to let it turn.i am all for new things if they work.i dont want to be walking backwards though.technology needs to always move forward and the only way to know is to try it out
