Tempest 2000 : I agree entirely. Some people have already mentioned this "category-specific matching" issue on this thread before, and I think it makes a lot of sense. Let's even go one step further. How about recording how much current is drawn from the batts on a typical mod sedan track, and then replicating this sequence, in order to match the batteries with a load that's really realistic? Of course, you'd have to do the same for stock, 12th scale, and so on... but then it'd have some sense.

And without going to such complexity... why not matching at 40A already (can current turbomatchers pull that much?)? 40 is closer to the average draw for mod sedan at least. (3500mAh dumped in 5mn)

Later,
Paul


PS1:I think ProMax also described the situation pretty well... The RC business is a "push"-type business

PS2: EAMotorsports, after your cells have come back from Japan, can you please send them to Switzerland?
