the guys down in mobile AL are starting one as well. here is his latest ruling....
"Okay.. one more crack at this battery thing- sport pack (unmatched).. 2S lipo or 6-cell nimh/nicad. Price of less than $50 and a capacity of no more than 4500mah. C rating on the lipo is limited to 25C. Trucks running lipo will have to make a minimum weight, and any lead weight added to make weight must be added to each side of the battery compartment. (that means you can't run a lipo and then stuff 4oz of weight in the rear to gain rear traction)
The battery price is STORE price. If I can't walk into Hobbytown and buy the battery that you're running for under $50, you better be prepared to pull it out of the truck." -Brian Davis
