what goes on the lists are decided by the importers, not the bRCA. Anything that meets the rules that is submitted by the distributor will go on the list. If the distributor decides not to submit it then it doesn't go on the list. Nothing the BRCA can do about that.

Does this make it unsafe? nope, not at all. I usedsome nanotech cells for 9 months, cheaper than the branded "listed" ones and performed great, no swelling bla bla and still not on the list. they were not unsafe. just not listed.

So, which shop in the UK can I walk into and buy Turnigy cells in? Up until the last few months you could only order them from Hong Kong. Should we allow anything as long as you can buy it in one shop anywhere in the world? If Hobbyking submit them and show they are commercially available in the UK then they will get approved, in fact recently they have got some Gens Ace cells approved.

Its all a bit to "the establishment" to me.

You do know that both you and I control what you call 'the establishment'. The BRCA committee are just a bunch of racers who have decided to help support the hobby and their sole purpose is to do what we the members tell them to do.

It says somewhere that all buggies are to have quick release lipo/battery straps, in the BRCA rules. hmmmm, I know of many many cars that do NOT have this. so, they should NOT be allowed on a brca insured track, and thats just about all clubs i think. BUT, No one says a word about that.
Seems that only when it suits them are things looked into.

Then you know what to do, bring it up at the AGM and get the rules changed or clarified.
