In which case the BRCA is displaying a glaring lack of consistency across different classes on what is considered by many to be a safety issue. How many LiPo fires have there been at the ebuggy nationals, or in racing outside of the classes subject to a cell list? And how many of those involved or didn't involve Turnigy or other "parallel import" cells?
Furthermore as others have said, how many were due to user error? Taking this to its logical conclusion, if you really want the use of LiPos to be 100% safe there should also be a list of approved chargers, balance devices, LiPo sacks etc. Why has the BRCA not done this to save us from ourselves? After all, if they did this we could all be chraged double the current going rate for an "approved" charger or balance board and those with a vested interest could make even more money.
All things considered the cell list seems a pretty half-baked idea at best.
