The 2010 IFMAR 1:10 Electric Touring Car World championship will permit the use of LiPo batteries after agreement was reached at the IFMAR AGM between EFRA, who proposed the rule, and ROAR, who already permit the new generation power in their National Championship. Held during the 1:8 Onroad World Championships in Switzerland last week there was talk ahead of the electric section meeting that EFRA and ROAR could not agree on the dimensions of the LiPo packs as the European Federation proposed a smaller pack than those already permitted by the Americans, who since allowing LiPo have built up a list of 120 approved packs for racing. Gladly the two federations put the best interests of the racer first and on Saturday morning IFMAR Vice-President Dawn Sanchez confirmed to Red RC that LiPo will be permitted for the 2010 Worlds. Full details of the exact ruling on the LiPo packs which will be published shortly on the IFMAR website. The use of LiPo batteries has been adopted by most national federations and hopefully EFRA will add continuity to the sport at their AGM in November by approving LiPo for next year’s European Touring Car Championships.

good point. Big impacts is not that great a concern. More charging them incorrectly and or discharging them to flat or at a rate the specific battery can't handle.

Ja next thing we know we will be wearing Foilcovered suits, boiler gloves, the whole shebang Laughing

I personally think that an element of danger has to be introduced, that's why we don't get umbrella girls and stands filled with bikini babes and then the price money is not that great Evil or Very Mad
