I would assume the same.

It is my desire that ROAR doesn't regulate Lipo to hard-cased packs... Otherwise I think we know who would be responsible for that :cough: Losi :cough:

Good luck with that... you can bet the farm that it will be hard pack only.

Its a paranoia rule made to satisfy an insurance company and it has no basis in real world safety, but... its in place now so we will probably have to live with it forever.

Good news for me is my local track doesnt enforce ROAR rules and alows soft pack lipos in the 1/10 classes and in the 1/8 that run there. Funny thing is they will be hosting the ROAR 1/8 offroad natioanls this year.

This is GREAT news!
I'm impressed that ROAR is accepting 8th scale electric as of 2009!
