In fairness though, most 1/8 brushless cars have good battery trays etc, so hardcase isn't really necessary in my opinion.

I reckon that two 10-15 minute legs for a final is ideal. No battery changes, so it allows more diversity from nitro.

It won't be the person with the deepest pockets winning. It'll be the person who most understands their set-up, and has sorted their car out properly. Oh, and of course is the best driver.

For instance, the most expensive batteries would be something like 10S 5000mAh, but they're so heavy there is no point. Money doesn't really come into it in my opinion. Certainly no more than nitro anyway.
