What lower weight limit? I thought we had discussed this and 99% of people decided it was better to keep the current limit
What I am saying is yes LiFePo4 MIGHT be the future but it isn't at the minute. Right now Lipo is the future as it has been proven to work in RC Cars.
Just like brushless was the future (and used) for at least 1 season before it came legal.
There is no point missing Lipo out as that means another 2/3 seasons of NiMh with at least 3/4 packs a season, when you can run on 1 Lipo pack, per car, a meeting (I've done it, and I didn't need any new springs/oils/tires).
Once A123 cells have had some in use in cars and have been proven to work, that's when we start looking at having them as legal cells, until then, I'm afraid Lipo is the future.
PS. oOple is a majority off-road place, not many care about touring cars!
