I thought it was the other way around? I assure you, I don't have any inside connections to cheap hi-Q cells.

Lab testing would be more useful to determine run time and capacity- test drivers all have different styles so comparative testing would be rather difficult, almost impossible weh you factor in track conditions changing along with ambient temps etc.
At best, gut instinct you be relied upon to gauge things like punch and power output.

Yeah, 30A sounds a bit lame. Are they planning on testing these packs in those super light (4lbs) 2WD 1/10 buggies or something?

That's why whatever testing is done should be done with off-the-shelf packs. That's the only way to ensure that people will get similar results as those from the shootout. Not a statistically viable test IMO.
