Any news on the BRCA battery list for 2008?

Aren't the new Orion SHO cells legal for 2008?

Sure I've read somewhere that they are.

Hi Bri,

If you find out anything about the batteries ie a list can you send me a copy cos its getting a bit close.

Behave it's getting a bit close!:rolleyes:, were not even out of January yet, any new cells wouldn't be legal to use until after the indoor finals anyway.

Yeh but 120 drivers plus all wanting cells will take a little bit of time to sort our and they start April

Oooooo, good point, what cells are we going to have to use at the indoor finals? :confused:

G

Jay thats 120 drivers in off road only think about all the boring car drivers and other classes:o thats alot off new packs needed

The indoor finals are counted as a 2007 meeting, so any that were legal last year.

12th'ers will be getting theirs in August after the 1st batch of iffy ones have gone through. So we'll be on the MK2's which should be faster and more robust :D

is there a date set for the homologated list to be published?

Updated list has been released apparently

Whats a HD type IB?

4600 !!!!! whats the point ??

I always thought that once on, cells and motors never left 'the list' (apart from ones that became illegal sized) - even if not actually listed? But I guess that's not the case from reading the top of that thread, and I have none of the cells shown.

Not really sure what to get either, there's so many :confused: whats good?!

good job to Paul for getting the list done, I am sure there are a lot of man hours that have gone into that!!

Fat Cobras!! yey :thumbsup:

also

so does this mean that we can't use screws to hold down the battery strap now?

ouch. So I can't even use bulletproof GP3700's? Seems strange to me.

I'm not concerned about capacity, just safety more than anything else.

And the "BRCA Approved" Kapow 4200's that I bought in november aren't on there either. I wonder if they've been taken off the list?

Thumb screws would be ok i guess still.

I was just thinking that. Its nice to have a large shopping list to choose from though. :drool:

Some of those cells I haven't heard of before.

What!!!! you cant use GP 3700's? Is that for definate? What about for use in regionals?
