As Northy said, even if you buy cells at full price from a shop, it's been a long time since you
need to buy £60 cells to be competitive. Also those of us still running nimhs would also need to buy 'fancy' chargers/balancers as well as lipos. Shops will always sell £60 'team spec' cells as long as people feel they 'need' that extra hundredth of a volt even if they crash every other lap.
One thing that's usually forgotten about, even if you pay £200 on batteries, how does that cost compare with how much petrol/diesel you are using going to nationals and regionals?
