Once again wrong.
I have been in this hobby for 25+ years and started racing a week after I got my first car. I started flying 12 years ago and have been fly electric only for the last 5.
I was not arguing that there aren't benefits from running higer voltage vs High amprage but the thread is titled "why the RC continues to be at 7V" it is pretty easy to see that the poster is refering to legal 1:10 scale cars (Other classes already allow higher voltage)
In 1:10 there is no need or incentive to go HV, cars are too fast with current setups, current setups are cheaper!!! and HV is not legal.
All forms of racing have rules and they are there for a reason, to make things fair and help control cost.
You guys and others pointed out how we would all save money if we switched to HV, Crazy posted his setup as an example but I pointed out that it was almost twice as expensive.
I do like how he goes on to explain how he got better deals than normal for the equipment, like that matters to everyone else?
My setup can be purchase by anyone at anytime. But there is no point in arguing with you 2, you just can't see the other side.
Come on down to our track anytime with your HV setup and you just might get smoked
