ROFLMAO - this is exactly the argument I put when you were banging the LiPo drum a couple of year's back. Now the tables have turned, eh??!!!
2 cells will make 12th and Oval, and will equal 5-cell touring. Make the Spec motor a 9.5 and it works there, and make the motor used in Off-Road a 4.5 or 3.5 and it works there.
The problem with LiPo is that at 7.4v it is burning motors out in TC Spec (ask anyone who tries to be competitive) and at 3.7v it doesn't suit anyone else. LiPo are volatile, can't be charged in 15 mins (and you were the one wanting convenience and lower numbers of batteries to carry around) doesn't deliver the amps unless you have more capacity than you need, and requires an investment in new springs, oils, suspension settings and tyres to use the lower weight limit.
Let me see now, I could invest in all that, and probably a new car, or I could buy one pack and a charger for under 100 notes and drive all day - it's a toughie!!
Sorry Mark, but you are now the person who does not want to move with the times - never thought I'd say that!! The future is LiFePo4!!
