I think any battery and any motor rules keep it real simple and no need to ruin things by adding more classes and more rules!!!

Want to run 5S, 6S or 7S, run it! Want to use 12,000 mahs, run it! Want to do battery swaps, do it! The rules need to be simple with the basic buggy size, weight and tire rules the nitros have!!!

Use all the battery voltage you want! You still have to hook it up and be able to drive it! Make all the battery swaps you want because they're will be no mandatory pit stops either...let's try not to over complicate a simple class that we want to attract others too with long non-stop no pit man racing!!!

20 minutes looks like the popular choice so far that also has my vote that can made easy without battery swaps with a 4S 8,000+ mah li-po confiquration.
