Couldn't be more wrong mate ..... running a Novak 6.5L ..... seriously considering an 8.5 or maybe even a 15x3 brushed for the 2wd on NiMh cells!!!
I have a used once 4.5R (in a TC) if anybody wants it .... lol
What I am most interested in is the fact that most people have instantly goen on the defensive with the assumption that I am trying to say the LiPo revolution is a bad thing ..... I've not said anything of the sort!!!
I just like to get people thinking and talking that is all.
All I have asked is what do people think about reducing the weight benefit of the LiPo runners to even out the playing field a little whilst NiMh cells are still in peoples race kit.
My own 4wd is a stick pack chassis and to be honest would be nearly perfectly balanced side to side and front and back with a 3200 LiPo in place so I'd rather not add weight (170g side to side inbalance with E4500s).
I have absolutely no intention of going to the saddle pack FS even in NiMh format.
As Mr Doughty has pointed out a little bit of mass around the middle can be a very good thing when getting down and dirty in the rough
(Why I've had nice steak for dinner not a salad). I once spent loads of time and money trying to get a Losi XX-CR down to the weight limit only to find it made it much worse to drive .... I was young and foolish (now old and foolish
)
I am finding people's responses to this thread very interesting!!!
