So now the LiPo racers are whining because their cars are all of a sudden at a DISADVANTAGE to the NiMH cars?

I thought you lot all though LiPo was the second coming?

Sorry, but we have a weight limit of 1500gms for TC's with a nominal 7.2V power supply. LiPo is a nominal 7.4V so if anything you should have an advantage running at the same weight.

Or perhaps it is time for LiPO runners to admit that NiMH are still the BETTER power source for electric racers? A good pack of IB or EP at 1500gms will beat all the LiPo packs on the market right now at the same weight.
