Sorry again for the questions, but you guys seem nice enough to answer them, so tell me when you're bored. Or just stop posting replies :P

A) This is off-road fella, practice on any surface and you'll be fine. Tracks can vary from high grip carpet, to medium grip sportshall floor, to low grip plastic sheeting..... all in 1 lap! its ace!
B) Money to book in, table, chair, means of charging and extension lead... or 12v/Generator if outdoors.
C) More than 1 set. 3 sets or more ideally.
D) If it charges your lipo in the CC/CV method up to 8.4v, and if it does it quickly (40 minutes or so), so can be done between heats.
E) Its a Lipo sack, Lipo is new technology and the safety of them is unknown. Rumour has it when they go pop, they do it big, but I haven't seen any do it. But as a precaution, when one does, charging in a sack stops them injuring you or damaging anything around.
F) 1 will do, 2 is what I use but isn't neccessary.
And as for the BRCA rules and availability. Don't worry too much, you won't be doing nationals for a while, for club racing then none-legal cells will be fine. If you decide to do regionals then you will need to look into legal cells though.
