I think this is good for the time being because our sport is still very new with this technology and will keep the competition close. Maybe in the next enduro races, It will workout.
unless of course you just spent money on lipo's based on the 1st set of rules Tamiya announced

Oh my goodness, sorry for any confusion, but Lypos are now again legal for use since some of the teams already purchased them.

Dear Tamiya Enduro Teams,

Due to the fact that teams have already invested money in LIPO batteries and
chargers for this event, we are, once again, allowing the use of LIPO
batteries for the Tamiya/Con 3 Hour enduro.

Once you guys try LiPo, you wil never go back to NiMh. Trust me. They are that good. HobbyHack distributes a great LiPo charger for just $70 called the Pro-Peak Prodigy 2. It's tiny with a backlit LCD display. Does Lipo/LiIon, Nimh, nicad and lead acid. I bought mine locally from Victor Racing.

Ling... ahhhyyy! Ling got Lipos (sounds like a very contagious sickness huh.. haha!) So who's financing your team? Darn Midgets got a stout piggy bank backing them up...

Not to worry TAOB, I'll be working my butt off all throughout the weekend flashing "the" sign on every hobbyshop corner in our vicinity... hopefully, somebody hears our cry and contributes to our goal of finishing 6th overall... Oh wait, I'm not driving... so that's 7th overall... woo hoo...

Hey Randy,
If Tony Phelon puts together a team maybe he will need another driver?Although don't you drive a Losi?
Maybe I can talk Team TAOB to pick you up. You can be our secret weapon!That's if the team agrees?

I do drive for Losi, which is why I'd need to be picked up by a team that already has the equipment, just seems like it would be a fun race to attend..
