Well put. I see the argument from both sides, however in this case I still feel I fall on the side of everyone NOT currently racing, i.e. I'm not one of the 150 people who have been doing the Nationals for the last 4 years.
I wonder what cells drivers are actually using in their battery though. I haven't bought or used a 2s2p pack in many years now. I didn't realise they were actually BRCA legal. Much harder to keep balanced and more likely to fail on charge. I certainly didn't think 1S packs were 1s2p, if so I am less surprised still at the failures I am aware of. A friend of mine destroyed the front of his KO transmitter at a recent 1/12th national when a 1S pack went up in smoke, in a LiPo sack while on charge. I do not mean to sound like I think all this gear is ridiculously unreliable of course, don't want to put anyone off at all.
