If people really believe that team drivers have that 'big' a gap in their stuff to off the shelf stuff.
Come ask me to swap cells or motors...

Interesting stuff Adam. My point though is that if I attendeded the Nationals this year it would cost me a fortune. A large percentage of drivers would be supported in some manner, this is a significant financial benefit, I buy un-matched cells (the cheapest I can find) and I run the odd motor I get off e-bay ! Hardly top spec 'Team' kit. I, as many other simply can't afford to be right the pace, my driving isn't up to it I know, but it's crap to be simply out powered. Surely Lipo / Brushless will significantly change this and in the long run it will be significantly more affordable for all.
It's the Batley Super cup soon, and my main memory of last year (I think it was last year) was the 4wd battle between Chris Doughty & Steve Lawson, Chris was flying past Steve down the straight, such was his power advantage and Steve's car is no slouch ! I'd like to see the 'Gap' close it's there for all to see and I reckon standardising kit, i.e we all buy pretty much the same thing, i.e Lipo is the way to go.
