Trying to run them with an equivalency makes as much sense as say letting me run touring 17.5 class with a 13.5 5 cell and no weight penalties. Come to think of it that does not sound like too bad of an idea.

Sure we need all the 1/12 guys we can get, hell we need all the RC racers we can get but do we do it for the sake of rules and regulations, this crap has opened the door for anyone to think they have and equivalency and start running it... because they are one more racer with entry fee and what about the guy that stops running because they don't want to deal with the Lipo C rating wars, Yeah it will happen, everyone of you knows it.

I'm not for adding class in general but perhaps a single lipo 1/12 class for 17.5 would answer the crys for slower speeds and less battery hassles and the rest of us can quit running 17.5 4-cell all together and move on to 13.5 or 10.5 4-cell (which I also run now).

Just seems odd that the U.S. is the only one sanctioning Li-Po
