Also, I don't know if you've looked at those tiny surface mount resistors that need to be replaced for the balancer accuracy upgrade, but they are a huge pain to replace. I looked at doing that to my Imax B6, but in the end decided to upgrade to a more capable unit. I realized that even if I got the balancer more accurate it would still be limited by the 50W rating.

good point, well made
i dont take these things into account myself as i carry 10,000mah of total battery with me to the track and that lasts the whole day + bashing.
