Dawn,

Where does this leave 12th scale and oval racers???

obviously there is an inherent problem being how lipo's are 3.7 volts.

Have roar or excomm looked into this yet???

easiest fix would be to mandate 2 cells but parallel (I think that's right??) so it would be 3.7 volts but 12th needs more mah than touring so running it 2p would give us the run time and help to balance out the car as well.

12th is fast as is and brushless 12th even 13.5 is a LOT faster than stock so the 3.7 might slow things back down.

just wondering if you/roar etc. have been looking into the future of 12th and oval...

thanks

Michael
