A racer can choose to use whatever conenctors he want and shorten the wires if needed. This pack is also used in many oval classes so it needs to be versatile.

We will let our competitors use inboard connectors if they feel it's the way to do.

As far as case size and having it frozen that is to keep things from getting out of hand.
He is impervious to our whims. Once ROAR decides to mandate 1c lipos for pan cars and reduces the weight limit (please god) , Associated or Orion will make some packs for us. Also apparently he has no idea how to make the barrels and wires and mounting circuit board come together in one nice little package. It's a shame really . As racers we demand performence and also practicality. If said is the case (lol) then we will just have to wait for what we really want. 12th needs to be single cell across the board. Round cells are a thing of the past (like so many t-bar cars are soon to be). and about 725 grams or so for the weight . Im sure as soon as ROAR lets us in on the future of 12th scale in their eyes, things will come to their fruition. As for now? My 12R5 sits on the shelf till further notice. And whom ever can kiss the fattest part of my posterior extremity. Semantics .. rules..
maybe we will just make our own rules and forget about who is telling us what to run

Thanks for nothin' man.
