Al-dente,

I have been testing some Sub-C Li-Ion cells and I am impressed with the cells.
If these cells were to make it mainstream today pretty much 1:12 would either have to drop race times to 5min and work the weight issue or go back to the 6-cell designs and no changes needed to the weight.


Don't worry about the 6-cell taking up too much space, the Tekin RS should be here soon. I hear they are the size of a Quantum2 ESC. I'll let everyone know on sunday when I see it installed.

The speeds are comparable to having a 19t setup for the first half of the race then tapper down to 27T at the end. If I were to be running a 2S3P (6-cell) pack the speeds would average higher the whole race. Right now I just run 5-min with the 2S2P pack on 13.5. A 17.5 should make it for 8min but I sold my 17.5.
