Cell confusion - are mine legal ?
 

Hi guys

Ive been racing for some years but havent raced regionals since the days of 2000 mah cells.

I may of unknowingly just purchased 5 packs worth of cells that arent BRCA legal :mad: :thumbdown: but i would like you to clarify please ?

They are Orion SHO 4200 NiMh

Your help is greatly appreciated

There are 2 versions of the SHO cell. The one that is pictured isn't legal, one with some white on the shrink wrap is legal.

if they are efra spec yes
check on the brca site under electric board

Hi Matt

I used to race you many moons ago ( about three finals below you ;) )

There is no white on the heatshrink that i can see - mine are as pictured :(

So i now have 5 expensive paperweights it would appear.

F***

Dont suppose you have got a link have you Bert ?

Im even more confused than ever now tbh :(

Are you racing nationals?

Im wanting to possibly race at a couple of the Mid East regionals and certainly the Worksop Indoor series this winter.

Thx Ash.....

So am i ok to do mid East regionals and the Worksop Indoor Series BUT NOT national meetings with these cells ?

Sorry for all the questions but im seriously confused ! ?

In a word - no.

Those cells are the wrong 'model' so therefore have never been BRCA legal, this year or last; so sorry but you cant use them :(

Ok Josh thankyou for clarifying. I wish i had found this site before i started buying all the gear ! :(

Did you buy them in the UK?

As UK suppliers would only stock legal cells, if they did come from a uk shop get intouch with them, to see if they can replace them with the correct cells.

Nope - from HK.
