Placing the battery on one side works but not nearly as well as using the Speedzone saddle pack. An excellent battery that brings all the advantages of running lipo to the t bar car:

is shown as out of stock right now but they have always restocked so far
Any idea if Speedzone plan to do another pack with higher capacity? I was running at the NSW Title last weekend, the track was the same one used for the 2001 1/8th Worlds, and lots of people were having dumping issues. Anyone using a 5200 mAh pack for that event would have been well off the pace.

The idea is 10.5 zero timing on the ESC (1S packs). There are some spec motor and ESC combo deals around for this for various other classes, so that's a plus. Also, a 10.5 with dynamic timing is a decent first Mod 12th set-up, so making the step up would require no new equipment.

Like I say, I'm going to do some testing to check the speed and driveability for new people, and I would like some starting suggestions for rollout/gearing.
If anyone has any experience with any zero timing 1S set-up at all, I'd really like to hear thoughts on rollout. Just need a starting point...
