Default AGM rules

Noticed the rules for the Pancar Electric 8th class on the AGM and would like to comment for all to also comment:

STOCK CLASS (4wd Without Suspension)
11.8 Fixed chassis cars without any moving suspension components . 11.9 Minimum weight to be 2200g (ready to race). Agree


11.10 Batteries to be any commercially available hard cased Lithium Polymer up to maximum of 4s (14.8 volts). These may be installed in any configuration, 1x4s, 2x2s, 4x1s with a maximum nominal voltage of 14.80v. The maximum permitted voltage of the cells when checked at anytime using the section multimeter must be a maximum of 4.2v per cell (16.8v maximum in total). [I]Would like this to have LIHV also because this is already available and why ban?[/I]

All batteries must be homologated by EFRA and must be in the EFRA list. 11.11 The brushless motor (Maximum of 2650kv - 2600kv) and speed controller combination must be or have been previously commercially available and have a maximum Euro recommended retail price (RRP) of 350 euro including all taxes. I think this is an unnecessary rule, max 1950 KV please, and price rule is bullshit

The motor must have a 5mm pinion shaft. 11.12 Speed controller reverse operation must be disabled Agree

BODIES
11.13 Bodies must follow same rules like 1/8th IC cars (see 6.7 to 6.9 Appendix 1).

11.14 CUTS OUTS. One cut out for cooling of motor / esc with max. 30x40mm. Any part of the body cannot be folded outwards to get more air to the motor. It is also not permitted to have a system under the body for conveying air inside the body. Should be left to the driver, unnecessary rule

11.15 WINGS AND SPOILERS. Wings and spoilers must follow same rule like IC cars (see 6.12 Appendix 1).
