Can we use Lipo?

Any rules and regs if we can?

[Nick Goodall]

Nice Andy, like your style - 2 Practise runs and 4 Rounds of FTD qualifying :thumbsup:

I haven't driven anything R/C since Feb so it'll be handy to have a few practise runs :lol:

[JCJC]

Can we use Lipo?

Any rules and regs if we can?

pretty sure lipos, charged in a sack are allowed, I believe young Giles (mobile chicane) has been using them on friday nights for a while.

[ryan]

Woohoo practice! I think i may need it :blush:

[MK Racing]

Can we use Lipo?

Any rules and regs if we can?

Lipo's are allowed as per flyer, must be charged in lipo sack, weight is to BRCA rules.

[c0sie]

So just to clarify as this is the first time ive heard of the weigh thing, all cars must be within BRCA rule weight??

[ginger fixit]

hi cris

thats it mate must be correct brca weight

knighters has to be 300 grams heavier then most so he doesnt get caught in the netting :o off the table top cos he knutts:woot:

[strobe]

Are the Weights still Minimum weight - 1474grams for 2WD, 1588grams for 4WD complete and ready to race.

[c0sie]

Phew...im at 1525.

Never been light weight in my life lol

[Ashley]

whats the maximum wieght for a 2wd
as im confused:confused:

[c0sie]

Ash,

2WD - 1474g minimum
4WD - 1588g minimum

All weights are 'ready to race' however if you are using a handout transponder on the day the weight of that will be included.

I wouldnt worry though..unless you are using LiPo with NO lead at all you'll be fine.

[Ashley]

cheers cris i wont be using lipo at mk gp but i will be a couple as my cells are fairly good but shawn wont move from them but ive gone to the future:thumbsup:

Phew my car weights 1600G:woot:

[RogerM]

I know this isn't the best place for this but here is my major gripe with LiPo.

Chris's car is 1525g with his LiPo in .... my RB5 will be near enough 1700g running proper cells ..... that's 175g or at an ~11.5% disadvantage out of every high grip low speed corner straight off!!!

Oh well ..... will just have to drive 11.6% better to make up for it I suppose :thumbsup:

(by the way don't suggest running LiPo to me as suggesting using a body cavity as a charging sack might offend!!!) :woot:

[c0sie]

I dont know what difference in weight there is between an S2 and a B4...I wonder what a LiPo shod B4 (with lead in the battery tray) would weigh?

My S2 has lead under each LiPo and 25g under the nose.
