shy as this is in brca nationals and regionals, can we keep to the important bit?
the proposal in the brca was to allow up to 7.4 in electric buggy,
if efra say yes but its not active till 2010 for efra the brca can still take em on? as we run to brca rules.
what i want to know is, if efra do not take on lipo, what will happen to the brca re list? i hope the eb make a brca list ,then efra follow our lead?
pw can you confirm this for me please?
oddly according to chris we could have run em all this year

The rule in the handbook does not need to go into detail like the proposal did and all that was changed is any mention of cells, cell type etc has been removed, and the wording changed to "Car will be driven by a nominal voltage of no more than 7.4v".
The EB has been asked to compile a list of Lipo's, which is going to be done, but firstly they will take care of the spec - which will be done to match whatever Efra decide next week at their AGM. (The BRCA & Efra should have consistency on rules like this).
The Lipo list will be made available on www.brca.org as soon as possible, and will be kept live until the cutoff for Lipo submission. So any of us can view it before making a purchase and see what the current list shows. I highly recommend anybody wanting Lipo to wait for this, and use it.
Initially we think that no current saddle packs will be made legal due to their size. This is unfortunate, but the manufacturer may already be dealing with it - like I said, watch www.brca.org. This only means for regional/national, and anybody who has already got packs will still be able to use them at club level just as they are doing now.
