Its one thing to race at jimmys joe jim bobs racetrack, run what ya brung because he is just trying to make a buck. But at the same time how about some rules about these cells? Just like with the nickle metals make it a some what level field at least say what milamp's you can go up to (Example 4800 is the max) but as with all good things as soon as these get more it to the "mainstream" instead of for the bashers & Craps the voodoo will start & the prices will go up & the life of the cells will go down (Think back to the 1200 red wrap cells or the 1700 black wrap cells).
Can I ask what difference it makes if the race lengths are not changed weather it is a 4400 or an 8000 mah for 5 minutes. Now if they go to 20 minute mains like the exhibition race at the Nats this year 8000 mah would be a good battery choice even though the winner Maifield tied 2 prototype LRP 5000 mah li-pos together for 10,000 mahs that even Maifield said 1 5000 mah battery would have made 20 minutes at the NM track. The only advantage the bigger mah li-po gives in off-road racing is runtime.
I hardly call Maifield, Cavaleiri, Truhe, Howart, Perez, etc, bashers at the Nats this year.
