I ran novak 5.5 and lipo quite a lot
Was too fast for a Medium sized track but fine at Brookland which is large. I raced against 1/10th ic once and they had the edge on the straight.
I have also race my switchblade with 4 cell and novak 4.5 at west london which is a medium size. Very little throttle control was require. Could mash the throttle out of all but the slowest corners. My cells arn't the best and I could have used a lower wind if I'd access to one. But my cell were already coming off toasted.
No offence Adrian but you are missing the point I have been making all along. Just because you run 7.4v lipo doesn't mean you would have unlimited power. There are even 21.5t motors and trust me a pro10 would be plenty slow enough with one of them
.
There was no path to get guys started at a speed they could handle. This was one of the major reasons the class died.
No matter what power they are running a pro10 is not the best choice for a beginner. That would be a tamiya tt01. We have great tt01 class at a local circuit and I even race in it sometimes and it's great fun. You get time to check out where everyone else is on the track as your car is going down the straight
.
You guys are knocking something I doubt most of you have actually tried.
I think I am the only one here who has tried it
