They may do it, but who is going to buy a racing chassis that can hold a 10000 mAH battery? Especially if you do a rule that limits chassis weight minus the battery.

Another thing with LiPo is that most development is with the C rating. So as batteries get better, they do not get bigger.

My opinion is that chassis manufacturers will limit the size of the batteries in their designs. This is my theory:-)
R. Howart, Tim Potter, Dawn Sanchez- you should all be running ROAR!!
