Nope, the Trakpower 4800 saddle is 2cells.

Each Lipo cell is 3.2v. Its only the high volt cells that go over 2 cells. 7.4v is always 2 cell.

my thoughts are still the same,
they should fit the cars without modifacation,
if some manufacturers can do it then why cant the rest,
corally being one there are more coming,

trekkker

my LRP 7.4v cells have 4 individual cells in them, 2 sets in parallel and those 2 sets in series 2s2p = 7.4v

I think Rich is right with this, it does seems to read as 2 individual cells, which does rule out many packs. Maybe the proposal should be modified to read (If it can be modified :confused:):

“Cars will be driven by a maximum of six rechargeable Nimh cells or two rechargeable Lithium Polymer cells in series, in stick or saddle pack configuration..."

There are already several packs that fit without issue in the same space as 6x NiMh cells, which is unlike the '07 Spec NiMh cells as they were too large for cell slots in most cars :lol:

Wasn't it this time last year when it looked as tho we would all be running Orion cells as they were the only ones within the '08 Specs, yet we ended up having more to choose from than previous years.

Maybe the manufacturers need rules to build products to, so once the rules are set we'll see more products :thumbsup:

i agree with everything youve said tom,
manufacturers need to build to a set dimension:thumbsup:

+1 - much better!

Amendments can be tabled on the day, so that shoudln't be an issue.

I think all rules voted in from that point are effective 1st April.

Where does the other volt in the pack come from? :p

Tom appreciate the rule reads 2009 1st jan 2009 but i think the reason why the end of season finals has always been run to the years before list is any new rules/additions to motor & battery lists do not go live until April and the end of season finals always take place in March.

I know this is mad but i think you would need another rule to suggest any rules changes are effective from 1st jan, as currently i think there are only two time periods where the lists are updated, April and one later in the year but i could be wrong

OR

Move the end of season finals to the first weekend in April

Thats like asking where does the magic smoke come from rich :lol:

I'm sure the BRCA will manage to implement the rule correctly. I for one would like to see lipo allowed at the indoor finals as it will be all I have.

This is of course assuming that Lipo will be passed, although judging by other threads on here there are not many against Lipo, and a lot for it, but then again not every is on Oople (just the majority :thumbsup:)

try mtroniks they always seem to have lots of it spare :thumbsup:

What is the current price limit set by the brca for lipo?

sorry i cant be bothered to look :thumbdown:

2. The maximum retail price for the year starting 1st.Jan. 2008 is £80.00.

There also on a rolling homologation list (as per. motors).

I'm not saying the case is a bad thing, just that the case is not actually part of the battery.

If we have cases why do we need lipo sacks for charging?


Can we propose safety specs and bullet proof vests for those charging IB`s:lol:

Nah i use a welders mask:woot:

Cases protect from impact, but not from cell problems causing fires. Hence the sacks as well for charging!

For IB's I'd use bullet proof glass!

For IB's.... Im trying to not use them now, no more IB roulette for me. :lol: (atleast for the foreseeable future)

I think it's called Chineese Roulette :lol::lol:

The problem regarding the indoor finals, is that they are the finals for series that are run during the winter, so should be run to the same rules as those series - i.e your indoor regionals. I think it would be close on impossible to implement changes at the AGM for the indoor regionals - IMHO.

yup the 4800 have 3 cells in each bank in parallel (3.4v) the 2 banks wired in serries give 7.4

spot on amend it on the day!!

With the BRCA AGM only about 2 weeks away.

Who's definately coming??

Which section meeting will you be attending??

In terms of "1/10th Off-Road", do you know of any clubs that will be applying for a National '09 meeting that haven't done so yet?? (Deadline is normally the AGM date)

Wow, i cant believe that the 2009 nats are just round the corner, entry forms will be out in the next couple of months :o

I'll definately be there with Claire, and hopefully travelling with Latham and Chris Cocker... lets get a list formed, there should be no excuse for missing this (except for Mia's christening).

But if you want Lipo, I stress you really need to make time for this AGM if this is the first and only one you'll ever attend. The proposal needs votes, without votes it doesn;t have a chance, and if that happens despite the amount of support for Lipo in here then it'd be a crying shame.

It's likely to be a 9am start (check BRCA.org). The address is Thistly Hough High School, Newcastle Lane, Penkhull, STOKE ON TRENT, ST4 5JJ. The address is on the BRCA website homepage top right corner and an Agenda will no doubt appear there also in due course. :thumbsup:

Where,date and what time ? 10th off road for me:thumbsup: How are the proposals passed is it by vote, show of hands etc ? Have never been to an AGM before:) AGM VIRGIN ME:blush:

:thumbsup: chris :woot::woot:

What are the chances of getting to the agm and casting a vote and then getting to york for a christening :confused:

Errrrr. No :p

depends on the time of the christening and the vote. 120 miles, 2hours 12min according to the aa ;) sure you could do it quicker then that though:o

I didnt know what time it usually finished :confused:

EASY !!!!!!!


In the toy as well :thumbsup:

we will defo be there as Chris said were all going in my milf wagon, i believe tom(multi euro a finalist)cockril is coming with us also,what time do we need to be at your Chris,

O Chris can you pm me your postcode and door number
