its not a fact of, will they fit, its will they work?
If i fitted lipos to the back of my bj4, i gurantee you the car would not handle what so ever, the same goes for other cars that rely on the weight over the rear of the cars to give the traction needed such as yokomo, tamiya, losi, hotbodies, aero and many more.
I've seen cars run at my local with lipos, and they look like crap on the track, they compare to the speed of my own car.. with me running brushed equipment also! the only advantage i see is only needing one lipo pack.
Theres a reason why drivers add extra weight in the back of their 2wd cars.. (b4) taking away alot of the weight would make it alot worse from my view.
I'm happy with the way things are, more runs through the day which is great as we only run 5 minutes, if id turn up to a national and be confronted with a format of 3 runs and a final (longer finals) i'd not even bother as it'd not be worth the trip.
Racing is lazy enough as it is due to brushless, cells that dont need much maintinance and spektrum radio equipment has made even little things such as crystal changes redundant..
Why is there a need of a big change for lighter cells, when they perform the same (speed wise), and make the car handle worse (in offroad).
