re: the LiPo adam, what are mirages sales figures on the orion LiPo? I know they are sponsoring a series (touring car) where LiPo is allowed.

Didn't mark post something about someone getting injured by a NiMh cell in the same way as this lady with the lipo receiver pack? The receiver packs can't be that much different to what we use in a mobile phone, but those aren't injuring people - so something obviously went wrong there.
I just think to say LiPo is unsafe and shouldn't be used, full stop - without even mentioning the serious dangers of existing battery technology, is really putting an unfair slant on things.

I don't have any desire to experience a LiPo blowing up, but equally have no desire to be near a nimh like the one below. Its terrible that someone was injured, but surely LiPo receiver packs are legal already ?
