On a side note what is everybody's feeling on making them legal for racing if the batteries are weighted to equal the weight of a nimh pack.
When did EA start doing LIPO's

I cannot help with the track today I made plans to take my fiance out to a beer dinner and you all know how much that means to me. The girl not the beer.
I appreciate that but you didn't need to. We have all had accidents as it just happens. Non of us are perfect. Even me and Mike got tangled in the beginning and we always try never to hit each other.

Sometimes it just plain happens. Nothing on my car I can't fix.

Remember, if it ain't broke then fix it until it is!!!!!!!!

Or what I tell my wife all the time...

It ain't broke, just lacks duct-tape!!!!!

Ken... Can you find out for me if lipos are ok to be used in the building? I know some places do not allow them at all. I know I can't race with them but just want to know about practice mainly. I'm trying to cut down on the amount of stuff I carry. One lipo pack and 4 race packs would be nice.

Hey Ken,

It looks like you forgot to do your caps. I was also in a rush. You did not help point them out.

I don't see why not because they have a whole supply of Lipo's in the building for planes and I think they also have some of those touring car ones. Also with all the fuel they carry I don't think it is a problem. Also I know two people that have mini 18T's with Mambas and Lipos that practice their during the winter.

Hey Brain,
I found out why I could not catch you. My end points were not the same.
