TBH the set of rules regarding the size of lipo's was fully expected.
At last winters worksop series whan Mark Christopher had a set of the saddle pack trackpower batteries he was passing around to check fitment into different chassis we took the time to measure them.
The issue was raised at the time that if the BRCA and EFRA were prepared to ban the previous seasons NIMH batteries for being marginally over sized they sure as hell weren't going to increase the size restrictions should LIPO or any other battery technology be allowed in future years as this could be said to give them an immediate advantage.
If me and others had these thoughts last year surely the cell manufacturers must have considered it.
The only thing we couldn't decide upon was the reedy pack with the locating humps on would the humps be included or excluded in any measurements.
