with 4 cell now used by some in offroad and a 5.5T brushless it produces the same speed as a 7.5T with 6 cell.
speed can come from a number of sources not just the voltage of the battery
What you have said works fine for Modified, but how will that apply to stock..
I mean, after all, its the motor that makes it "stock class" not the battery..
We have parity issues now with 27 turn brushed and 13.5 turn Brushless motors now in stock, so you now want to add another battery / motor combo to the mix??
The only "FAIR" way to run 1x LiPo cell (instead of 4x "sub C" cells) in 1/12 scale racing, is to create a separate class..
