Unfortunately,the majority of people being introduced to e8 scale is not 1/10 scale guys.These are nitro converts.So your point is not so strong.Not saying your approach is wrong,but we need to think outside the 1/10 scale box.More voltage/less KV=More efficiency,its easier on the electronics,and have plenty of manageable power.People concerns with a 4 cell limit is not unfounded.If we take a page from the AIR guys,we would not even be having this debate.Same crap started when Brushless was new.The car sector of the hobby is so far behind as usual,and we need to make sure when setting rules early,they don't discourage participation because one small group of people that have an agenda.Thats a completely different issue altogether.

continuity is key !.
