There is a good chance that you will replace cells over the winter for the new season, unless you are using some GP3700, so you can see how it reduces your costs  |
GP3700's would be me yes
I know that li-po to buy as a set up is cheaper, but disadvantaging those that still run ni-mh by changing the weight limits is not the way forward, I would think most people if they knew that li-po was being brought in slowly would definitely change come the time for new batteries, I know that I will be looking at it very closely when the time comes to buy new batteries.
Maybe I'm in a very unique situation with batteries that would last long enough for it to work out cheaper in that short run, but a changing weight limit would almost definitely be an extra cost in terms of having to buy li-po's instead of running my current ni-mh's, as soon as most of the people racing are using li-po's tho, definitely all for it
