What kind of performance could I expect using a single 11.1V lipo vs. using two 7.4V packs like they show in the pics? I plan to race. I don't need to have the fastest truck there, but want to be competitive. Would the single pack be a realistic option and if so, what motor / ESC would be a good match?
Thanks
It depends on your track. A 3S LiPo with a LRP TC Spec ESC and Novak motor as shown in some photos is more than enough for a small to medium sized track.
As with any vehicle, many times you need to go slower to go faster. In 1/8 electric, most of the cars are set up to go way to fast which results in slower lap times.
This may not be the best set up for, but is something to consider.
