I won't mind clearing one thing up; (even though it's sunday)

from the beginning i stated 'if the same power is needed' (with that i meant the power on the wheels) so, knowing this, you simlple have to admit that a larger number of cells will give you MORE runtime (not to mention the setups efficiency will increase on a higher voltage)

If you want to run 50 mph on 12 cells, your batteries will be empty FASTER than with 18 cells going 50 mph. Got it?

You have got your theory right, but you need to translate it back to the limitations of RC, (which includes the fact that the batteries simple don't do a 225 percent increase going from going from 12 to 18) Power isn't unlimited in these, so you are not right if you say that 6 cells will add 125% of power. It just isn't right period.

My goal was to disagree with that, open your eyes and see.. ;)

No worries though, i still can drink a beer or two in the pub with you... :p (as long the beer is not hand warm...)
