Chap at Neston does, cant remember his name.
His shell is totally yellow and usually sits in the middle at the front.
Pretty sure he has a single cell lipo and brushless.
he has said previous the pros are that once it is charged it can be left, unlike Nimh that needs charging on the day, and seem to recall that 1 lipo could be used for 1 nights racing at a stretch, whereas a normal battery would probably be 2 heats safe, with the 3rd likely to run the battery empty.
cons : the step-up means more wires and gubbins in an already packed chassis.
Also the car is on the pace of the rest of the B final regulars IIRC so there isnt much if any performance difference.
