Sanyo NI-CD 2400, Sanyo NI-MH HV 3000, 3300 & 3600

Panasonic 3000 Ultra Metal Hydride, Panasonic 3000 Stock Metal Hydride

GP (Gold Peak) 3300 & 3700, 4300, 4600

Intellect Batteries 3600, 3800 and LRP 3700, 4200, 4600

EPIC 3800, EP 4600.

Thanks all!
I was at the Trackside TCS, and all ROAR approved lipos were legal..not sure about nimh

"Update 3/17/09: the recent influx of new LiPo batteries emerging in the hobby R/C market, the TCS Series is adopting the same list as the one found on the ROAR approved list. However, we emphasize that All LiPo batteries must be "True" hard cased and not soft cased. If we see a ROAR approved battery that we deem soft case we will make note of it here banning it from the TCS series."
