When it is not battery failures, it is legalization, new cells, inconsistent rules, etc. Opening it up to any 7.4V LiPo battery (assuming other rules are met) would avoid the problems we have faced with NiMH.

In free for all, I thought you said that there would be no demensions for the lipo? this will make chasis manufacturers build new layouts everymonth. if you don't have battery dimentions or atleast a box for the batts....
