Thanks.
Use these definitions for conversion 2.2 lb = 1 kg and 16 ounce = 1 lb

53 ounces = 1506g

49 ounces = 1392 g

If you plan to race 6 cell NiMH along with 2sLiPo then I think it is fair to ballast the cars to the same 53 ounce weight. The LiPo guys should then use the biggest capacity 2sLiPo that is legal for racing.

We plan to race open mod soon. I think most guys will show with 2sLiPo. If even one wants to run his old 6 cell pack, then we should keep the 53 ounce limit. I have asked that NiMH not be replaced with new packs of the same type. If we ever get every one on the 2s LiPo then it would be wise as a club to adopt a 49 ounce limit. Much less heat, wear and tear, only a little faster.
