In gerneral response ......
The power delivery thing first .... I want less not more ..... that's what I meant, personal choice though.
The weight issue is really aimed at those that are on tight budgets and planned on reusing there 08 cells in 09. A new charger and a pack or 2 of LiPos might be more than the budget can stretch to!
If they feel that they are at a big disadvantage before they even start they may not go to the race meetings in the first palce. The last thing we can afford to do as a sport is turn people off. Afterall the entry fee of these people is at least as important to the club holding the meeting as that of a world champ ... in fact these are the sort of people who probably race at that club every week and thus might be considered more imprtant than a roaming superstar!!
BigRed ...... garlic bread might be a meal feature but the future ... I think not 
(I know Super_Dan will be along in a while ..... did I mention starting a debate??? lol)

During the summer i ran my B4 with lipos at 1405grams race ready, it had better handling for me small tweaks to my setup, REDUCED tire wear, saving pounds on said tire and the power delivery was controlled by my thumb and speedo.

your proberly to late to make a difference. i spent a total of £44 on lipos in the last year and used them up to 4 times in one day. and are just as good on the track as the day i first ran them, excluding some marks on the hard case.
AS for a fire hazard, there are lipo sacks for about a tenner or a kitchen fire blanket.
I can see that your p**s*d off cos you will only be running your kyosho cars, fare play to that i ran a lazer 07 and 08, served me well, but i suspect your displeasure is because the new FS Lazer is saddles and the current saddle packs are highly possible the wrong size, thus you having a dig, bash, winge, moan, etc etc about lipos.
Have you every seen or heard of a mobile phone set itself on fire, as they are Lithium???
