No, we didn't want to put a cinder block on the lipo car, there would be no point in that. The lipo cars were less than 730g, the 4 cell was less than 865g, but both were in their respective ballparks. Personally, I like my 4 cell car, but that is not reality, 1 cell will be the new standard.

Out here we race 1/12th outdoors on parking lot tracks a lot with low bite during the summer. T bar cars are what we like for these conditions, so a 1cell set up will be tested. I would hate to relegate 1/12th racing to indoor carpet only, my first tests with 1 cell would indicate that it will be great on our parking lot tracks also
