Yes the sub-c cell issue didn't help thats for sure but one of the things racers need to consider is that 12th scale and some oval clases are the only classes left using sub-c cells. We use to bring in 40 000 cells per month in the peak season when Lipos weren't around. Now we bring in 5 000 at most and we expect it to drop even more. So eventually it will not be worth it to bring in sub-c cells. This is why we did a single cell Lipo. As far as others releasing them I'm sure it will happen as I doubt our competitors will allow us to be the only game in town although that would be cool.
