OK, now we're getting somewhere!
I see now that you have really tried, that's great!
True, it's possible to amend a rule at the AGM, but it is seldom being done. Therefore it's not something you can normally hope for.
In any case, try to speak to your national representatives that are going to the EFRA AGM, and explain why you don't want size or capacity restrictions OK? (And try to convince them to amend the proposal)
That goes for all countries!
Best practise for rules is IFMAR (Worlds) = FEMCA (Asia) = ROAR (USA) = EFRA (Europe) = national rules
K.I.S.S.!!!
It's great that the superswede Dallas Mathiesen is now president of both EFRA and IFMAR. Comminication and cooperation between the two had room for improvement in the past!
As to size I cannot really understand why you can't keep the current size specs for NiMH (which is btw normally never being checked...) and just let LiPo batteries be free as to size. What's important is that the list contain good info as to size, so that the racer will know before buying a given battery if it will fit his car or not. It's the same thing with charging - there will always be idiots that don't read the instructions and pay for it... Forcing people to buy new & homologated chargers does IMHO not provide any "real" safety. You just need to educate and inform the customers and racers! Knowledge is power!
And again... this is not touring cars with massive grip! This is buggies on slippery slopes. To put it simple - there's not really any need for ANY restrictions as to motors and batteries - so keep it dead simple!
P.S. Have you guys seen the new proposed 1:8 TR mufflers? It'll look like a gun sticking out of the shell...
