Higher resistance will reduce the voltage some and it will increase as the amp load is increased. So in some of the slower classes it should make less of a difference.

When trying to release a product for the racers you try to make it the best possible. We did make a compromise on the wire size as we used 14 gauge instead of 12 gauge. There are many racers using this pack in oval and they would prefer using 12 gauge.

At the IIC in Vegas one of our racers who was using Bullet style connectors instead of Deans tried hardwiring instead of the Bullet connectors and he picked up a tenth of a second in 17.5 TC Foam. The Buller connectors were not good because they were gold colored brass instead of gold plated copper. This shows that small things make a difference.
