1) You've never seen a 6 cell buggy in a real race, they aren't allowed.
2) 6 cell buggies have even more power to weight. How could you not realise this? The weight is coming from cells, the things that actually power the car? Furthermore, electrics have lower CG and corner faster than nitros.
3) There is no electric sanctioned 1/8th racing in Greece. But I;ve been on the track with my 6S truggy and other nitros, my car is a lot faster. I can screw up every corner and still catch the nitros before the next corner. It even prompts people to make comments like ''wow, they're not letting you run that with us tomorrow are they?'' and stuff like that.
4) And lastly ''More power never equals a faster race car on the track''. Wait, WHAT?
This is getting silly. The things people are coming up with because they don't want to simply admit a straightforward fact. Boggles the mind. I'm outta here.
1) YES I HAVE. Not a ROAR approved race, but I have been to REAL races where they are allowed. There are other sanctioned race bodies, and local and state level racing where it is allowed.
2) Power to weight =/= better handling car. Does this mean the Bugatti Veyron beats a Mazda Miata on the autoX course by a degree relative to it's power to weight ratio?
3) You don't race.... sooooooooooooooo.
4) Sorry I didn't mean never, but I meant, more power doesn't always = higher lap times. Take a Miata and put it on certain road courses it will beat cars of higher power levels and power/weight ratios.
No need to turn this into a you're lying debate, some people at my local track and some of the bigger events did indeed run 6 cell to try and keep temps down/efficiency up.
