For what it's worth...
I will race 'Blinky' next winter at MB as I enjoyed it.
You DO need the right gear - and the right setup - which I proved by turning up with an incorrect motor / rotor and having no pace.
Following week - with the correct rotor in the same old 13.5 Much More - I was flying and much, much quicker then the previous week. Also geared the car a lot higher and it liked it. In fact my times we so close to Mod it was silly - and faster than most there that night
Re Blinky issues - people will 'cheat' and do silly things regardless of class - be that using more sets of tyres than permitted / abusing lipo's and overcharging as well as cutting the track. Some people are idiots - that's just life.
If you have a decent bunch of people racing blinky - it just allows some close racing and less tyre wear - what's not to like
Re original post - I put back around 2000mah into a pack - so no chance of 'dumping' !
