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!
yup, it was lovely coming back to as much power as you could handle, pretty much any gearing you wanted and still getting 15 minutes out of a 25 quid battery. And 18 months (so far) out of a motor.
I used to trash a stock motor every month or so and one of my three 50 quid factory matched packs would dump early about once a month........
