I talked to my local track owner and he says running a single cell and a 13.5 is going to be fine for stock racing. So I'm just wanting to know rec. pack or voltage booster? Anyone making a weight tray for the single cell yet?
Yea, you're in a tough spot. I might add, don't you feel that a lipo pack for a "theoretical class" won't be obsoleted by then as well? Right now only SMC has a foot in the door. Announce it as a class, you'll see 5-10 new versions.... and motors and new electronics to match the low voltage demands. A booster is a bandaid. Somebody will fix that with newer better electronics in the speedo.
