[quote=DCM;159044]haha, now when you have gotton your foot completely out of your mouth..... I know a lot of us 'old timers' as if your young, once your above 30... thats old, lol, who are pioneering LiPo and new Technology...... But we have the ability to pull on experience to maybe hold back a little.
My biggest concern with LiPo, and still is, is safety, from user abuse, where there has to be a state of transition of technology, like ESC's with lipo cut-offs and lipo friendly chargers, as there is so much old stuff out there, it is when it filters down to the lowest club level, that is the biggest concern.

I'm 31. Please don't make me type simile again.
Please let this be the end of it: -
Simile - To Liken one thing to another. Sly as a fox, doesn't mean you're a sneaky ginger
Cantankerous - Disagreeable to change
Appears - To show a one sided opinion not based on fact.
Health and Safety: -
I agree on your points of safety. Let's take the delivery of my LiPo's this morning; containing an A4 sheet of warnings and do's and don'ts. It has all the warnings and guidance required. Then there's the clubs, a requirment for all clubs to ensure their members understand the health and safety issues before racing. After that people may go to regionals, once again compliance required.
Health and Safety I agree is an absolute must and should be taken seriously. However, do we really have to protect everyone from Darwinism? You can't stop stupid people being stupid. If they don't cook their parcel shelf or their hands from an overcharged cell, they will get run over by a train because they were listening to their Ipod whilst crossing the track.
