For on road the rules "recommend" 1C charge rates.

Ok i should have been a little more specific then, ORRCA QLD rules state:

2.3 Lithium Polymer Battery
7.4v (2 (3.7 volt) cells only)
No modifications allowed to the case and/or the battery
Any physical distortion, denting, puncturing or damage to the hard case of
the Li-Po battery will deem the Li-Po battery to be ineligible for use at ORRCA QLD events.
Overcharging is not allowed (voltage higher than 8.4v)
Must charge in Li-Po sack or other device (fire mitigation device able to withstand
and contain a destructive failure without showing a flame).
Must be used with electronic speed control that has either a inbuilt cut-off
or used with an external cut-off device installed (6 volts minimum).
Must be charged using a Li-Po capable charger only at a maximum rate of 1C.
EP Interclub and state titles all fall under ORRCA rules here.
