Johan,

You absolutely kill me. What I do not get is WHY. You guys push for Lipo acceptance ( justly so) , so you can run the Lipo tech against an already established ruleset. So the local tracks, and descision makers( ROAR too) try to fit this new tech into the current rules. Then you complain that your batteries are at disadvantage and want the rules CHANGED to suit Lipo better. The way we have worked with the differences in nominal voltage has been with weight. Thats how IFMAR, ROAR, EFRA.. etc. has decided to make it fair.
We have a well established set of rules, that are always changing, when Lipo becomes the NORM, and not the exception, the weight rules will have to change accordingly.
BTW, I would be willing to bet racers were faster with 5 cell ,even at the 6 cell weight . There is a flip side to why we went for 5 cell. Too much power and frying electronics...
Anybody got a taser ???
