well, some rules are there to keep the cost down, like the jan 1st cut-off for submitting cells.... this means that one list is produced at the start of the year, so you didn't fork out for 6 packs, then 2 months later, a much better cell comes out, and to be competitive, you got to buy them.
Slowone, I don't think anyne is advocating that everyone must go LiPo, but they can be run in conjunction, and we are only looking at proposals for the 10th off-road. When I get my kids brushless and lipo, for racing, I will go from carrying around about 20 packs of batteris... to 7-8 cells.... far easier, performance is constant too.
As the call about 'not fitting chassis' I remember a lot of issue's when cell capacity when from the ubiquitous GP3700 to the IB4200 cell, the cells were a smidge longer and a smidge fatter, so in the B4, it made the cells tight across the chassis and needing different battery bars, and in some TC's, the slightly fatter cells screwed up the milling of battery slots.
Currently, there are two classes that allo, Super Stock in on-road and Bikes.
