If anything EFRA was correct to go to 5 cell if anything, wait and see what the LiPo guys will come up with first, and even if they now go to LiPo there is less of a weight issue to take care of, although the voltage differences become larger. The size limit is correct although putting a ceiling on the Mah would have been nice too as it would have taken some of ridiculous high Mah/high dollar packs out of the question once the rarer Po packs get worked out and the "team" guys start to run them.

5 cell mod isn't exclusive to EFRA.... I beleive that roar gives you the option to run 5 cell at 1450g or 6 cellnimh/2s approved lipo at 1535 grams.


How do you put a ceiling on MAH when 4200nimh are taking in 4800-5000mah?
