I think we still need an 'EB List' as such with Lipo. Just the same way the NiMH one works with new cells added once a year. This makes it very easy for the racers as once they have seen the list and got the cells they know they will do all season, without a new cell coming out that is better. Possibly with some re-wording to allow 'new batteries' to be allowed at the Indoor Finals as happened this year, as the Indoor finals is closer to the next years nationals than the previous years, if you get me?
We also need some control on this 'EB List' in the way of safety of the packs. The ROAR rules have a lot of safety tests to ensure that the packs are not dangerous. These are rules that we need to look at/adopt, but they are probably best set by the people who know what they are talking about, not on internet forums!
Regarding a proposal for EFRA I've no idea how it works, but I would like to see Lipo passed for off-road for next year. Preferably to the same rules as whatever the BRCA would be so that we have some consistency.
