I have two experiences with 6 cells across the car.

The first is at the Euros where I couldn't get enough traction on low grip clay. It was worse with the 6 cells across the back, putting the power down coming out of the corners, the extra weight made it hang onto the corner more, causing over rotation.

My other experience was way back in the summer, a nice chap from Bury (Alan???) wanted me to drive his home made XXX converted car which had 6 cells across the back. I really expected it to wallow too much on the high grip astro but it didn't at all really and was quite nice to drive. Now it wasn't sparklingly quick and the servo wouldn't hold full lock in a high grip turn so it wasn't a full evalutation. Also quite nice to drive doesn't necessarily mean fast, but we had no timing gear.

Either way good skills Stu, are you planning to always run it like that???
