As we know for off road events presently lipo is not allowed which before ordering my Cat SX which I am presently buidling I thought was a pain as Lipo clearly had a competitive advantage so on a world stage this seemed strange. Maybe this is a wise move to not allow Lipo? Any other bad experiences or is this an isolated incident and we shouldn't be worrying? I have mistreaded normal cells all the way through my teenage years without any consequences I am more carefull now is lipo worth the risk? I certainly wouldn't let kids use them.
same can be said for nimh, any cell is danjerous if abused, and shame on you if you have been doing when kids are around
