I dont think safety is the main issue when it comes to lipo, it is the point of not being able to regulate the individual cells in the car. For instance if only 3200 cells were legalised (it sounds like a drug

) then they are the equivelant to a 4200nimh i am told, so everyone is happy but...... there is a possibility of someone with the identical cells that you have in your car to have 40% more capacity and voltage in their cells due to the way they charge them. This is what the brca will be worried about. (we all know it will happen at some point) this then obviously shortens the life of the cell and they are no longer the cheap alternative
