I mean, it's not like indoors regionals mean anything anyway since they count for nothing in terms of formulas etc... So we could call it north east series and allow hard cased lipos, maybe follow the EP list for TC since there is one...

cool even tho that does not have saddle pack on it!!

What has everyone done with the cells they ran all this last year?

2 packs of cells will do you for a meeting easy.... when lipo's are legal run them, until then run what you had previously.

yes for 4 of us and never had em..............

nope the lipo list has been constantly updated

Well yes and no.. The LiPo homogation list that has circlualted this year, is for use by the Touring Car Section 'Pro-Stock Class' only, therefore does not apply to off-road. It is, as you say, not frozen to the April 1st homologation date, however that is only during 2008. So in effect, no new cells added after 31st Dec.

So my understanding is, should we (off-road) adopt LiPo then an official EB list of LiPo cells will need drawing up that covers all electric classes, and this will use normal April 1st date to approve new cells.

yup how i see it, but needs to include saddle packs

There are certain rules that BRCA regional championships can alter / not adhere to, and brushless motors was one of them.

We will have a NE Indoor Series, don't worry Dates are being finalised with a few of the clubs now. Once this is done the dates will be published. Be warned though the first one might be in a couple of weeks, this is needed to fit them all in.

please those who bang on about lipo being bad/not safe, there are now many lipo users who wont go back to nimh, the vote and proposed rule change will still allow you to use nimh so every one can/will be happy. the lipo fans are not asking to kill or outlaw nimh
