I will never go back to nicd/nimh as lipo is just easier to deal with and with quality cells it is cheaper in the long run. The competition itself will level itself out in time.

Also the argument that the cars will be too fast on 7.4v is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. You can only go as fast as traction and the circuit itself allows you too. If you cannot grasp setting up a car to fit a track prepare to be a consistent loser. If people can't figure out they will need to run a less hot motor or more conservative gearing for a particular track with the extra voltage they deserve to lose for their ignorance.
