The more I look into it the more I can see why you think that Dave!!!

The 1S thing is a 1/12th hang up as you say, been speaking with somebody in the know today.

I still need to look into it properly before making a decission.

With 1s I have a speedo and 13.5 motor already but would have to buy a battery so total cost would be about £.

With 2S I have a speedo and a battery already but would have to buy a motor ££.

From a purely financial point of view I would probably go the 1s route ... not sure. Before you say "but such and such a brand costs this" I haven't got that choice, I'm a Team Orion driver and very proud to be so as they are without doubt the best out there for proper racing (1/10th off road).
