12 M1 cells is about the same weight as 14 NiMH cells, but has 36% more energy under it's belt, and much higher discharge capability. It would have about 2200 watts of usable power, but, you would never use that much in an R/C, even a MT.

I like to use my 7s pack for times when I want the Revo to have great agility, and it performs at roughly 5s lipo equivalent. I also have a 7s2p pack, and I get a pretty decent boost in punch, and it has marathon runtime it seems with the 1512 motor. The 7s2p pack doesn't feel that heavy, believe me.

A 6s2p pack should be perfectly fine, if you are not a 'every last ounce' racer.
