I gree with what your saying, i see no benefit in losing a cell in off road

true but 5 cell was only legal for 2008, year before was 6 cell they had 3.5 last year in 5 cell

could be a new cell technology, there is a 3volt cell buts its no good for rc in its current state and im sure its not lipo

Here's a new suggestion. How about proposing an adjustment to the minimum weight? Go back 10 years and I was able to get close, with my blade I had to weight it up. But currently, I need to loose between 100-200g per car (depending on tyres) to get close again, and from what I have observed, this is the norm' for the majority now.

chris weigh your car with lipo, my b4 and d4 are under weight, job done!
light cars, good power, cheap cell costs, less maintance for cells, good life, if you want to control speed restrict motor wind, 7,5 for 2wd 5.5 4wd, even better use the throttle as a throttle no on off switch
