I'm asking myself why nobody has looked into the A123cells as a new battery for 1/12th. 2S gives you 6.6V and they can be charged in 15 minutes.
Atm I'm designing a 12th car using those cells as I dont care much for a 1S lipo pack.
Hi I have a T-bar 1/12 (12x) and I run 2S A123 on it.
Because of the size of the A123, i needed to config the car to have left side: battery, right side: ESC+Receiver+Weights(~60g).
With this config, the L/R weight is about right. the body just fits.
I run the car with a 11.5R @ 6.6V, with rollout ~ 34mm
yes, the car runs for 20mins and the A123 can be fully-charged in another 15-20mins.
BTW: I am just driving this car for fun only... I am a newbie and NOT into competitive racing.
