Cars such as the S4, Aero, especially, where the prop gets in the way of any Lipo pack will be hard to modify to make the packs fit. But with a Lipo rule, the development of cars will be such that they'll all fit Lipo packs eventually.
Id like a ruling of hard cased with details, inclusion of saddle Lipo packs, therefore two sets of dimensions for stick/saddle. With Lipo list update inline with cell list - 1st April every year.
Maximum voltage for powering the car by whichever type, 7.4v.
From whatever proposal is put forward, the BRCA will fill in the blanks.

chris i dont think suc c cell is less than 22mm? trackpower 3200 saddle will be 20mm same as stick those needing small packs can buy em, those who can use larger should be allowed to

with regard to cars with non standard mountings, my Atomic AE B44 would not fit LiPo without some adjustments. but as long as you don't ban nmhi thats fine.

chris see my post re b4 fittment, two longer grub screws and 30mm saddles fit in a b4

By having set dimensions the manufacturer's will push the limits of cell size within these limits. By having size free they can use whatever size they want, but if they want to sell it, it has to fit in the cars.

fully agree tom, if lipo becomes the norm manufactures will design cars to suit the best packs too
