[mark christopher]

million doller question!!

[Chequered Flag Racing]

is there going to be more batteries added to the list, or is this it?

that's it I'm afraid for NiMh's for 2009 National's and Regionals

I would expect to see LiPo's on there own list if any get approved

[DCM]

where are the LiPo's, or they making it deliberately awkward to find out what you can use??

[Alex H]

Lipo list are on its way!

may not be finalised, though did state end of Jan 2009 for submission, but there could be a late comer that has extended the date

be interesting to see a hit counter for the 2009 list, anyone know how to?

[DaveG28]

Does anyone know when a Lipo list will be up?

Yes













the BRCA but they won't say it'll just appear

[DaveG28]

Clarity would help, in theory that is "the list", with no more to appear, does it say anywhere that Lipo is separate?

[Kecky]

It will probably arrive with the provisional list (pinned to the back of a Unicorn :o) they promised us at the AGM...........

To be fair the cut off date for submission was 31st Jan. My guess is that Paul has had several lots of LiPos delivered over the last week and being the type of man he is will not cut corners, rightly so. If that means that it takes a few weeks for him to do all the necessary work required to produce the list that is how long it will take!

I am 100% sure Paul won't delay things any more than necessary, be patient.

All that said I know my cells (and the one's I've arranged to buy) are legal for next year so am breathing a big sigh of relief at that news.

Sorry, I'm sure your right and Paul is doing all he can, don't mean to criticise him personally, it's just potentially confusing, we don't actually know that isn't the final/only list!

[Lee]

But if you go for cells off that list, you will be fine :D

Haha, your right, I'm just getting narky cos I want to get sorted for the year!:p

[samd]

Does this mean older cells like GP3300 are no longer legal??

GP3300 are not legal for BRCA 2009 National series of any kind. Note the word Nationals


APPROVED BATTERY LIST, Jan. 2009.

Only cells detailed below are approved for BRCA National Events in 2009.


should imagine they are still OK for regional level as they are on the 2007 list. 2008 list has gone AWOL

[DCM]

actualy, if they are in a stick pack, with a manufacturers wrap on it, any cell is legal up to 3700mAh

Are these saddle LiPo's your talking about ?

[RogerM]

No .... 6xsub-Cs ..... not going LiPo for at least 09, hopefully won't have to in 10 either
