Ok, this seems to be the point of confusion, so let me try to clarify it.
IF you are running hard-cased lipos, they must or should be from the battery list. I have tried explaining this several times, but look at it another way based on cost.
I'll race lipos at the nationals with a normal rrp of £15. I can't run them at my club, so I have to shell out for 4-5 sets of nimhs at about £15 per set rrp. Now, even though I will get those at trade prices, you can imagine just how much I would have to shell out, and someone who is buying at the retail prices, will have to spend more.
Maybe a rule isn't needed, but I have asked before about submitting cells to the EB and been shot down before, plus, hard-cased lipos are expenisve now relatively speaking, but the more I buy (and other shops) the better deal we get, which can be passed on, and the prices eventually come down.
