To say that we won't have to equalise lipo's is just stupid. There are two cells in a pack and there are already equalisers on the market. Ensuring both cells are the same will be a performance advantage.

I'm sorry, but if you are running the same tires surely you have the same contact patch, but less pressure. However, as there is less weight to move around you don't need as much pressure.

As batteries have got heavier I have not seen a harder compound released.
