The X-6 was designed for 4+2 cells and for stick LIPO pack accross the chassis, the battery bar turns over and is shaped specifically for the LIPO cells. The weight of LIPO is less, so there is no issue with the weight being wide - and we can use lead to bring the weight forward if required.

As for the X-5 - it will be easy for us (im talking personally) to adjust the chassis with dremel and re-drill for straps to hold the saddle LIPO packs. Changing the car to a 3+3 config but seeing that LIPO is much lighter, we would add lead to bring the balance back.

I think the issue is with the nominal rated voltage being higher than cells.

I would like LIPO to be accepted and intigrated into the same classes as NIMPH's, but its all down to the manufacturers submitting them, us attending the AGM and voting them in, and the BRCA EB accepting them - for which to do I guess EFRA and ROAR would have to do the same so it is a sweeping change for the class's internationally.
