Provissional Rules would be nice.
I would like to see ROAR lock down the Max Dimension of the any NON-NiMH batteries for 1:12 to be:
92x47x23mm (Pack to Fit all linked and Oval Cars with 4-cell cutouts.)
and
70x47x30mm (Pack to Fit Current T-Plate Cars*)
Both Packs would have nearly the same volume so Capacity Limits would be eqaul.
The second Rule I would like to see in MAX voltage to be 4.8V so not to speed up the class using the current motors. Alowing higher voltage packs would mean MORE RULES AND MORE CHANGES and MORE MONEY to conform to the changes.
*Bottom Note*
The 70mm long pack is the same size as half the saddle used in Touring and Off-Road like the original E4 and B44.
Example TeamCheckPoint.
This battery pack size would not require re-tooling or production of a Niche items. In the Future, Linked cars could develop Asymetrical layouts similar to Sedans with the Battery on one side and the Electronics on the other to take advantage of the more compact size. For the Mean Time, Both Pack Options of the 92mm long and the 70mm pack would be a direct drop-in battery for majority of 1:12 cars.
