Not that it has anything to do with the conversation at hand but off road right now, SCT and 2wd mod buggy, which is one of the classes with the most need for proper set up and picking the right motor for a track of any type of rc racing on earth. But it is all universal (racing that is), do this and the cars responds in this way, do that and it responds that way - LEARN TO ADAPT OR GO EXTINCT.
I also run a TC4 for speed running. Not saying that I know everything or always get it right but I have a little bit of experience with trying to put down too much power and fiddling with lipos.
There is a reason so many are jumping ship to lipo from nimh (in all forms of rc racing) despite the risks and as more and more cars are designed with lipo in mind it is going to get harder and harder for those that insist on staying with the old batteries to stay competitive anyway. With that in mind EFRA better go lipo if they intend for their racers to stay competitive on a world stage.
