Wearing gloves now that is a good idea the amont of times I have marshalled a car that is being reved and those little nobbles dont half sting. Anyway I think personaly that Carl is right and everybody else is right also so lets have a bit more love in the forum "come on now group hug".

Spencer for prime minister leader of the lets have less confrontation and love each other party.

Soldering cells has always been a very "american" idea. It is something that most racers over there have done for some time.

In all fairness guys - generally when i have had a speedo that has suffered from the magic smoke issue - there is enough heat in there to unsolder wires, either at esc or end - hard soldered or corally connectors.

Now don't immediatly put me on the hating of soldering cells idea, I'm not that arsed, however I can see the potential not liking someone running across a track to fight with a car they can't disconect. I mean if you're on a good run/needing a run and you can't see a corner cos someone is running across the track that shouldn't be there you're not going to be right chuffed are you?

Observation:

1. Chris long stated that he wouldn't be happy sitting near someone charging LiPo.
2. Chris Long stated it would be a good idea to throw wire cutters at someone.

Conclusion:
Chris Long is confused.
