I guess since the batteries have to be submitted to the BRCA for "testing" plus some cash, the companies that do submit their batteries, just choose the ones they think people are most likely to race with, which generally are 4,000+mAh.
I have emailed Hobbyking regarding their batteries, I'm sure many have in the past before so possibly wont get anywhere, but it has been forwarded onto the Product Team. It may push them to do it if more clubs take this stance on non-approved batteries, as I assume battery sales will drop. Obviously we dont know if its just a case that they're never been sent for testing or some other reason why they've failed. I run them without issues & certainly dont see them being anymore unsafe than other (more expensive) brands.
