So if that is indeed the case then the whole thing stinks, it's a price cartel like I said on page 9. Plus the fact, as well as ensuring that the customer pays more, it also makes the supply chain inefficient.
Sorry, no idea - I'd suggest you ask the BRCA electric board that question. I just saw something posted up that I didn't recall reading last time I looked at the rules. One thing I do know is that "Balls out" Lipo's are from MB models - and not sure if they're available anywhere else. Same goes for Demon Products (although not sure if Demon have any current legal batteries, although they certainly have had).
