On the submitting of cells or lipos for next year, am I right in thinking that only those cells/lipos sent in by the manufacture are looked at?
Now most budget brands are focused on bashing etc so probably won't submit because they don't focus on racing. Dosen't this in itself push up the price of your kit by reducing the competition?
Is one hardcased lipo much more of a risk or threat as any other thats been homologated.....surely not as they are being used by kids in the street aren't they?

I suppose I'm just fed up with buying overpriced knackered second hand stuff and can't justify the £'s on new. Cheap lipos and the losi 6.5 are on my Christmas list.

If I can't race at regionals next year with them, so be it.
