this is the response from the 12th brca chairman to a facebook page
"Mark Stiles In 3 years of national 1/12 racing (something like 20,000 packs charged) there have been 2 LiPo fires. Both were caused by incorrect charger settings, not 'dangerous' batteries. I wouldn't say that 1 in 10,000 is reason for too much concern. For the odd occasion it does happen we have the necessary safety measures in place"
And another well respected BRCA official
"In my garage I have some petrol, it's leathal stuff you know, been nown to catch fire quite easily.. we should probably ban it. As for this diesel stuff that's horid too.. Some folk have way too much time on their hands, 'stuff' is dangerous if we don't follow basic rules and apply common sense, other than that - Move On there's no story here."
fully agree with them both...
