unfortuneatly it has to have the sticker on it as that proves the battery hasnt been tampered with. You refering to turnigy ones?

However, it must be on a published list, and have been there for 30 days. If the battery is approved but the updated list isn't yet published the battery isn't legal even if it has a sticker on it. That's for onroad.
For offroad the situation is slightly different. The pack has to be on an Australian list according to the rules, but by convention the Australian list is the ROAR or BRCA list. However, there is an additional requirement here that the pack be rated at no more than 6000 mAh capacity. So even if it is on the list, has been there, has a sticker etc. If it is greater than 6000 mAh it's not legal. The same goes in offroad or onroad for batteries outside dimension.

Page 38 8.3.2.2
Both the top and bottom sections of the case must be secured
together by glue, double-sided tape or heat seal with a label across the seam
stating "ROAR Approved" in such a manner that separation of the case to
remove or replace the cells will destroy the case and/or label and render it
unusable in competition.
Thats just a small section of the rule, so yes it does need that sticker on it

Yes, Turnigy's and Zippy's
So the existing Turnigy's and Zippy's at say 4000 or 5000 mah rating will be legal once they have been published on the list, makes sense, as it's not as though all those packs are individually inspected at manufacture, then approved with the sticker.
I'm guessing the manufacture process wouldn't have changed on the packs, just the manufacturer has submitted the packs to the relevant authority to have them approved.

Previously ROAR required the ROAR Approved sticker to be put on the lipo before it was approved (at submission stage). maybe this is what they have done. Have they actually said they are ROAR approved or simply shown a picture with the label on the lipo?
