Not everyone uses lipo -- for whatever reason (cost, car design, concern over safety). Having said that, I don't have any problem hitting a 10 minute main in 4wd mod buggy using 4300 nimh with my 8.5 brushless, even with plenty of warm up laps. I like the longer mains, but not everyone is in the same boat on spending money -- I'd hate to see race times dictated by what the folks with lipos can do. Hitting 10 minutes has been around for a long time, but the second we start going much higher than that we will be excluding a lot of club racers.
