Agree Chris! We even run 5 cells just to get the power DOWN!
But still, many guys have problems with their NiMH cells dying, they must be soldered together, they blow up, they must be stored with some amount of current etc... a lot of hassle! LiPo is modern plug-and-play technology!
But I agree that mainly it's an "outside the car" advantage! (Except runtime during practise)
Note! For clublevel racing - why not increase the length of the heats?
@Elvo: I haven't gotten around to doing back-to-back tests with timing... but the B44 sure does seem better with 4800 LiPos. Very consistent power through the whole heat. And the weight is due to the batterys lower weight moved forward = tons of steering. This is on a dirt track with good traction. I still claim low weight is better for 4WD. For 2WD only with very high traction.
