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
Yeah, I agree with everything you just said.
I was just asking the question because batteries are improving, and it is a little tenuous there only being one ROAR approved 1S saddle pack. I don't like saying to people, sure pick up a cheap T-bar car, you'll be fine with the Speedzone saddle
as long as...
The Speedzone pack is also a bit more expensive, not too much, but when the cars are so cheap anyway it can impact a little on people's thinking.
