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...
I can see how runtime would be an issue for you on a huge track like that, but it's not a problem on most tracks in the US. I've run the Speedzone saddle at a number of tracks from small to what we consider large and have never even come close to using the packs full capacity. Also remember this: many packs ratings are BS. The battery sellers need to keep pace with each other so the numbers keep going up, I know of cases where the same battery has been re-labled to a higher number (nobody whose batteries I use in case anyone's reading my signature).
Anyway, I was advising a guy who just bought his first 1/12th car, and he would be ill-advised to run enough horsepower to dump the battery on any track while he is learning
