Default Current Wisdom on 1s Lipo 1/12th Scale

Hi all,

I realize that some of this is buried in other threads but I was hoping I could prevail upon some of you that have/are running 1s Lipo in 1/12th scale to help me understand some of the equivalencies.

Is it possible for a 1s Lipo 1/12th car to be on an equal footing with a 4-cell car running the same motor (I'm thinking 17.5 Stock) at the same weight?

If not, what formulas are working to try to equalize the Lipo and 4-cell cars? Does a weight break work or is "motoring up" necessary to create some parity between the Lipo and 4-cell cars?

I ask because our regional race series here in Western Canada is trying to come to grips with having both Lipo and 4-cell cars in the same class and attempting to find some parity between them.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide!

Cheers,
Mike
