Does seem strange to limit the physical size, when it's the capacity that's the important aspect.

I am glad to see this has passed!!!!
I am sure the BRCA have their reasons for the rules they put in place. And I am sure cell manufactures will come up with legal cells. |

does seem odd thay saddles are out there and the rules are not adjusted to cater for whats allready done??? its only a few mm difference after all.

We did try to say about not having any dimensions, but there has to be. Nothing is definate until after the Efra AGM, so just hold on to your horses guys. It'll all be made clear.
The BRCA are there to represent us, and they do that well, so do give them chance please - if they do something it is for good reason. The important thing is that the gears are in motion now. Also, the 7.4v max wording is done so any future technologies that may come can also be looked at and an EB list done for those also, such as Lithium-ion or whatever else. Great idea to make it like this! |

Please, what are the dimensions or where can they be found. (I guess the why is another question). Great news on the change of wording, but would like to run saddles in the 4WD along side the stick in the 2. (are TC all stick?)

JCJC, did you read my posts? Waiting for Efra AGM for rules.. the mention about saddles is not definate, only a possibility until all is made clear.
Hi Matt, I can't remember. Id presume it'd be same as with Nimhs which was 31st December cutoff with list release January - but I didn't make a note of that, don't rely on my memory. There was a mention of the list being redone 6monthly rather than annually. It'll all be made clear in the week after the Efra agm. |

It's great news that Lipo is being allowed, but I hope they do allow the saddles to be used, afterall the trak power 3200's are only the same as the sticks but in separate cases.

I think it is a shame that we didn't get our say on the size of batteries, and yes I came out of the meeting a little disapointed, but, after some reflection, I'm sure PW and the rest of the UK EB will make the best decissions to suit our sport and to best suit the manufacturers. Remember that though the UK has a boyant R/C community we are just a drop in the ocean of what is a larger European racing scene, it is highly unlikely that manufacturers will make a battery specifically to suit our rules, but if the EFRA (european governing body) see fit to make a set of it's own rules then there is bound to be a good supply of packs to suit the EFRA rules. As I say I am sure the BRCA will do what is best for everyone. At the end of the day we put these people there to represent us we should have faith in them. |

the problem is with dimensions is the stick pack has been taken as the "standard" size, two saddle packs have two extra ends of cases to fit in which makes them slightly longer than a stick, the cells inside are the same/smaller

Chris, i think paul worsley said they may bring the date forward( earlier in december) so the list can go up from the 1st of january. That's from memory also

Hey Ste, (good to meet you at long last!!)
I think best bet, is for us wait for the BRCA.org announcement/update - I wouldn't put money on any answer until then. |

EFRA AGM
http://www.efra.ws/news/executive001.html
Here you'll find agendas, proposals etc... I highly recommend actually reading through the proposals! Looks like we're most likely getting LiPos at least! @Mark: Still happy about leaving the wording of the BRCA proposal to your "boffins"? I prefer my proposal

PW promised that he would get a list of 2009 race legal batteries up as soon as he had all the information available. My guess would be 3 to 4 weeks, but that's just a guess. |

The only thing we can count on, is something is going to change & that the BRCA are representing us very well in making the right decision, so have faith and patience.
Also, regardless of this, the current Nimh list will still be valid in 2009plus any new Nimh cells which we may see, if any. |
