It's about fun, driving skills, sociability and getting some newcomers to make up for dwindling numbers. Make it easier, make it level on technology and the driving standards will go up.

haha, now when you have gotton your foot completely out of your mouth..... I know a lot of us 'old timers' as if your young, once your above 30... thats old, lol, who are pioneering LiPo and new Technology...... But we have the ability to pull on experience to maybe hold back a little.

My biggest concern with LiPo, and still is, is safety, from user abuse, where there has to be a state of transition of technology, like ESC's with lipo cut-offs and lipo friendly chargers, as there is so much old stuff out there, it is when it filters down to the lowest club level, that is the biggest concern.

For me, seeing them in use, and understanding what makes em go bang, I am more than happy to use them, and it will bennefit me greatly once me and the brood have fully gone to brushless and lipo (Mr Harris will know what it is like for me at racing).
