Yeah, totally. This myth of "needing" 6/8/10 packs is a hangover from the once-a-day-run yellow SCE's from years ago. Not really applicable now as providing there is time between rounds (like there is at a Nat, which is what we are talking about here) then you only need one charging whilst you use the other. I prefer having a back-up so 3 packs is all i use.
I wish everyone would stop whinging about minor details here!!!
If you look at the bigger picture here i'm sure it has been a very good achievement by PW et al.
With reports of all these cells going pop in a big way, in these days of liability etc, there could easily have been a knee-jerk reaction to ban electric racing until these were made safe.
But IMHO the BRCA EB board, who only represent a very small share of the cell market, have actually managed to use the rules to influence the manufacturers to produce new verions of the cells seen as most risky, which should be safer for us all.
It means we can all carry on racing and has meant a positive step forward in reducing the risk of serious accident.
I'm sure a couple of new cells packs is cheaper than paying for an op to remove the shrapnal from your old ones...
