This is something that doesn't happen anymore (well apart from stock touring car racing). I am running Batch 1 Tekin Redline motors, cheap nanotech saddle packs and 2 year old Gensace batteries and my car still has more power than I need. The days have gone when you have to chase the magic power, which I think is where Jimmy is coming from, that you no longer have to control things as much due to the fact that we are finally at the point where we can't use the whole power of the systems whereas in the days of NiMH's and brushed, we could easily dump a pack!
