Ok, SlowOne, I wasn't trying to be patronising at all. There was a reason my posts were slightly questioning - because I was hunting for further information from people like you who have the knowledge on why the decisions were made. Thanks for giving the info while patronising me back - I'll consider the favour returned.
Saying there is no equivalence between 1S and 2S whatsoever is potentially equally patronising to the group of people who may believe that simply to not be the case.
While I fully understand a rule has been made and it is final, I might add that it seems slightly strange that the rules specifiy equipment that is commonly known to still have issues. As you rightly point out, the 'booster' issue. My view is that the potential for this class is huge, and far greater from the sea of people countrywide in possesion of 2 cell equipment than the relative few with 1S stuff - many of whom also have 2S electronics for other cars anyway. Batteries also are a secondary problem as I'm aware of more failures for 1S than 2S. Largely in my opinion because a 1S car running at the same average pace as a 2S car will draw roughly twice the current from the battery, something which will not benefit it's life and will increase the chance of failure. Usually under charging when someone under time pressure is ramping up the charge rate because they are having to charge at a much higher current for the same reason.
