I agree that too many rules does nothing but put people off. The problem is not so much getting the rules in place for the national series, it's those clubs that stick blindly to those rules and follow them as if they are set in stone. This has a much greater impact on the average racer than a potentially over governed national series (which it may or may not be, not the point of this discussion
).
There is no doubt in my mind that lipo (or another lithium battery type) will replace NIMHs no matter what anyone says. You might as well imbrace it sooner rather than later. There are no arguments anywhere that proves NIMHs better than lipo's as a power source for RC cars/buggies. It's only the stage we are in, the transition period which complicates things a bit. You have folks who have invested quite a bit of money in the old tech that will no doubt have to reinvest to change to the new tech. People will need re-education and a change in habits. But.. it's all worth it.
I find it amazing that people\humans after 10000 years of evolution are still so resistant to change. Even worse is that after 10000 years of evolution we still think farting is funny
