Alot of valid points raised, especially the garlic bread one.

Personally I love LiPo's, Ive never had or seen any problems with them and in MY opinion most of the horro stories you hear are 'a mates mates mothers son-in-laws LiPo went bang' and nothing closer to home.

There are rumours that I have heard, and I in no way associate myself with these rumours!, that the TC section have found people over charging and going onto the grid at 8.7V.....people charging on NiMh settings.....or so the rumour goes o.O
No doubt there are ways to police the SAFE use of LiPo's and no doubt PW with all his experience as Chairman and EB blokey will be looking into every possible angle.

I think LiPo is the future. I saw a video from one of your 'up North' indoor meetings afew days ago where an IB blew up indoors during the 2WD final, yet ive never seen a race video where someone gets their face blown off by a LiPo at a meeting.

Yes, we've all see the videos of people deliberatly over charging LiPos to make them go bang for the fear factor...but under normal sensible use? Nada.
