I'm with you Roger, lipo's are voodoo magic and should be banned completely, just like fireworks and pixies. They contain non earth-like materials that are way too complex for humans to understand and besides they are the wrong shape, I mean what's up with these square edged flat batteries? They just look weird.
And a linear power curve!? That's simply ridiculous.
Couple that with the absolute stupidity of staying cool while charging, it just doesn't compute. There are so many issues to consider, weird power delivery, reduced weight, being able to charge them and re-use them many times in a day and all that. It will change this sport forever and things will get totally out of control freaky. What's next? Batteries that don't need charging in cars that don't break? What will we do in between races? Will we actually have to talk to the people next to us and be all friendly like
lipo's rule dude, get with the program.
