So according to JRP's #, the 3.7 lipo vs 4600 has a difference of 180g or 6.4 ou. Take your average car weighing at 850g with nihm and replace with this lipo and we now have a 670g car. This is way below the current 794 (5) g limit. That has to goof up the weight balance of the car, but until those that have tried say otherwise, we wont know. IF and I mean IF... Roar was to consider a 2 class 12th scale format for a transitional year as 13.5 lipo with a 670+/-g weight and the other a 13.5 4 cell with 865g.... would that give everyone a happy place to be?

We know that sedans are going to be revamped with lipo exclusively in mind, we would be silly to think that 12th scale would not follow. It would look strange with a battery up the side of a t-bar car with the electronics on the other side.... but if thats what it takes, thats what they will build.

BMI has their electronics behind the battery in their DB10R.

Got some crazy wheels turnin' here....
