Hi
I'm moving back home (been in Australia last 12 years) in April, lined up a SX3, looking to race at DMS, my question is about lipos, can you run any lipo as long as they are in a hardcase, as is the case in OZ,
at the moment I'm only going to run club events and I know I'll need BRCA approved lipos to run at BRCA sanctioned events
cheers

Like Ben Said, Schumie mini pins are the standard really. Pop up soon Graham! :thumbsup:

Will have to get Darren to comment on this one. They must be BRCA legal as you mentioned, and verified as safe to use by the club. They'll receive a Safe lipo sticker which certifies them as ok once they have been inspected. Darren can fill in with the official line though. :)

Thanks for the reply
seems to me that BRCA batteries are a bit expensive, looking at £150 for 2, just for club racing,
the ones I'm looking at are these

these are great batteries, I've been using the stick pack version for a year now, great performance, no puffing,
and £58 for 2 of these delivered, is a bargain,

I guess comparatively they are expensive, but you've got to remember that should do you for an evenings racing. Think it's worth spending on a decent set of packs if you budget allows. I ran 5 mins practice and two rounds of qualifying with the same pack last week (i dont normally do that, but it's good to know that i can) i'm about to go into my second season with some Vampire packs that are as good as the day I got them.

I cant really comment on the Hobbyking packs never having used them, but i think it's worth making sure that they are "ok to use" at the club (or indeed any club) before you invest.:)

exactly, that's why I'm waiting for Darren's reply before buying them, as for BRCA = decent pack, doesn't wash with me, I've had so many Intellect/ gens ace go "puffy" on me but I've never had a hobbyking lipo go bad on meO
thanks for your input, it's really appreciated as being in Astralia I need the best info on the ground

Hi Guys,

Sorry I had missed that there were replies on this thread until today.

We do indeed run to the BRCA rules with regards LIPO's just to keep things simple really.

Not sure if your particular packs are on there or not since I am not familair with them but it is a HUGE comprehensive list nowadays......

Having said that there are some great value for money packs out there on the BRCA list that "wont" cost you a fortune, you dont have to spend £75+ on LIPOs if you dont want to....

HTH

If you buy direct from hobbyking, i understand you are classed as the importer as you have short circuited the loop that is shop to distributor to manufacturer. This could have implications for you if said imported lipo goes wrong in terms of liability.

I believe there was an instance recently where an imported lipo went up in smoke at an indoor meeting and damaged the carpet :-(

Something to think about before buying !

Thanks Darren
can you point me in the direction of these "cheaper"lipos as all the ones I've seen are around £70+,
ATM I'm finding the price difference a little bit hard to come to terms with
cheers

Steve,

Brca list for 2012

http://www.brca.org/sites/default/files/library_files/eb/2012%20BRCA%202S%20Saddle%20LiPo%20List%20v1%20pdf .pdf

Gens ace seem like a cheap option i dont know if these could get the saddles for you

http://www.giantcod.co.uk

Intellect dont seem to have a bad rep !! Check fleebay theres some on there i think :thumbsup:

Or keep a eye out in for sale section and try pick up a set or 2 for the price of a new set. Most of the guys on here look after there gear !!!

[Darren Boyle]

As Stew has put above many of the brnads in his post are far less money, second hand is also a good way to save monry if this is an option for you and at present I even saw that SMD have a clearance on LRP saddle packs at just £49.99 per pack on their SMD Direct site earlier this week, so alwasy plenty around at less money if needed....
