Cell confusion - are mine legal ?

[Rich D]

Hi guys

Ive been racing for some years but havent raced regionals since the days of 2000 mah cells.

I may of unknowingly just purchased 5 packs worth of cells that arent BRCA legal but i would like you to clarify please ?

They are Orion SHO 4200 NiMh



Your help is greatly appreciated

There are 2 versions of the SHO cell. The one that is pictured isn't legal, one with some white on the shrink wrap is legal.

Hi Matt

I used to race you many moons ago ( about three finals below you )

There is no white on the heatshrink that i can see - mine are as pictured

So i now have 5 expensive paperweights it would appear.

F***
