you all have made very good points. being a race director, i never want to split classes up more than they already are. the only problem is that for those of us who do not have a place to run 1/12 during the summer, and for only 10 races in the winter, it is not worth the expense to most of us to have to buy 2 or three new packs a year to run 1/12 for 10 races.

i am not trying to start a war, nor am i trying to lobby for changes in the rules. i would just like to see an option for those of us who prefer to have one battery pack that you simply recharge and run. no discharge, no balence, no tray, no cycling.

i was one running the 17.5 1/12 at nats, and that 17.5 is in no way close to a tuned, brushed motor. i had to run 78 spur and 52 pinion to even get close, but the car then lacked the rip out of the corner, the reason the 21.5 works in oval is because the cars are always at speed. i think that combo will suffer in onroad.

thanks for listing to me complain, and i thank you for your honnest responses.
