So, if $65 dollars can put another competitor into the class instead of $220+, would you rather have more or less competitors to race against?
Those racers with T-bar cars need to think outside the box. Until Speedzone came out with their 1s Saddle Pack, several local racers have been using a stick LiPo mounted lengthwise down one side of the car with no ill effects. It isn't pretty, but it works quite well. This was with an AE 12L4 and Serpent S120 T-bar chassis.
