you only really need it for mod. I have yet to see the benefit of having it running 10.5 or 13.5

Actually i reckon 5 cell is so much better, less wear and better handling car

Although it seems you have to spend a lot of money on cells if you are a top driver (NOT MY PROBLEM!!!! :P )

yeah i felt stupid when i realized that haha.

As far as ver.2 better for lightweight...i cant afford to be replacing the spool and CVDs because of the high amount of wear due to weak aluminum of the ver.2 spool. I had it, didnt like it.
