Legalise Lipos
BRCA AGM is coming up. How about legalising Lipos ? (Not just tenth off road either.)
|
there has been lots of threads and discussions on this very topic....not much point in starting a new one.

Hi Roger,
I have sent a proposal to Charlie Fraser, and Jonathan Clark has used the proposal to re-write the rules in the handbook in preparation. All we need now is attendance at the AGM in order to get the votes. Im glad you are supporting them, personally I don't want to use cells again - just Lipo's now. Are you attending the BRCA AGM?

If you don't go to the AGM and vote, and lipos aren't made legal you can't complain about the decision. |

That, is not why I do all the running around at Bury. That bloke that turns up to race at Bury is the bloke I do it for and he wants to run Lipo's. |
If it's just club racing then there has never been anything stopping you running lipo's. The rules only apply to brca affiliated events hence why they talk about the nationals at the AGM's as they are the only events offically affected by it. (not sure if regionals are allowed to modify the rules as they see fit or not)

There is of course more to it than just "legalise them", a full set of construction rules are required regarding voltage, capacity, cell type, casing type, dimensions, safety tests etc etc... otherwise any sort of lithium ion polymer cell configuration could be used.. to do all of this is a lot of work. it is not an enviable task!

Touring cars already use lipos in the ProStock class and the bikes have been using soft cased ones for years in their national meetings. There's already a set of BRCA construction rules regarding lipos and even an Electric Board list of approved hard case lipos here |
I ran at this years 2nd BRCA welsh regional back in june.
it was great - except that, even though I qualified 5th overall, I had to start at the back of the grid, in the lowest final, racing against the kids. nothing wrong with that, at the end of the day we all love lapping 7 year olds (!!!!)... but it was all due to the fact I was running Lipo cells. obviously I won the final. but I couldn't get a trophy because I was running Lipo. I'd like to run a full national campaign next year - it's been an ambition of mine since I was 14 - but I'm buggered if I'm going to go out and buy six+ sets of expensive and outdated nimh cell packs which are useless after 40 race cycles :) |

Same here. I bought 4 packs but a cell went down on one pack. So have just ended up using 2 or 3 packs at each national :thumbsup:
|
me too, ran 4 packs all year for both classes.
hey, with LiPo, i'd only need 1 pack:drool: |

2)As others have said you don't need 'one run' packs any more. But if you want lipos I hope you'll be at the AGM voting for them:thumbsup: |
Where and when is it?
|
It's on the 26th October, but unsure where.
