Cars would need re-designing to get the handling right.
From what i've seen a 2WD off road car with lipo and brushless has an uncontrolable power to weight ratio.
With a much lighter car you need less torque to get it moving and less power to keep it moving... so less powerful motors would be the key to perfomance. Less power = less wear and tear.
The traditional 2WD buggy design with motor hanging out back would be finished, just not enough weight infront of the rear axle to keep balanced, so would start a big move to mid motor cars.
One advantage of LiPo maybe the environemt? i don't know?
Nicads and Nimhs are fairly nasty things and don't do mother nature any favours - are lipos less nasty?
