Here in Switzerland we run 4cell with 4.5 up to 6.5 motors.
On a bit larger indoor tracks of course...

I want to try 1C now, maybe with a 3.5?
Will the 1C battery work for 8 minutes?
BTW: Rollout is about 35 mm

And when voltage is further lowered the amps are going up.

You guys should look at the IIC race coverage from Las Vegas on here and look at the live scoring from liverc.com.

That is an all lipo race, including Mod 1/12th scale 1c racing. From the look of things its working great for mod.
