Blinky racing battery help
Hi all. Been racing for many years with buggies and have tons of experience but I am struggling to understand an issue with blinky racing. We are thinking of running a buggy class with 13.5 blinky and some of the drivers have said with today's low profile lipos they would dump in the race. The batteries are ok with a 7.5 with boost but a 13.5 blinky would take up too much power and the battery would dump. Can anybody explain too me how a 7.5 with boost used less power than a 13.5 blinky. Many thanks.

Even Trish from Schumacher said on his you tube video that he used a full thickness shorty lipo to win the stock class at Eos daun because of this. I just don't see how it uses more power.

I think they are using the wrong terminology. I’ve read that with touring cars for example you would suffer because the voltage drops a bit (so does not ‘dump’ like the old days) and that loss of performance means you can’t win etc This is because you don’t have an excess of motor power, like in a mod class, so need every scrap of performance you can eek out of the vehicle. Hence why you might need full size Lipo to keep higher voltage.

A racer at our club was using a 13.5 in a cougar laydown with a 23 pinion and kit spur running a little boost. He dumped after 4 and a half mins with a low profile 3200 lipo. I don't see how as I run lipos that are 3200 with a 10.5 with boost and it's fine.
