They should allow up to 10S specially if more of this so called hard cased lipos comes out in 3-5S configurations. You can have good 3200-3700mAh 4-5S packs for a very good price and most good cheap chargers can handle those fine. I like my 8S set up and if only ROAR saw the safety of it, but those fools are looking at their pockets and making BS rules. Some of those guys have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to brushless, lipos and now 1/8 scale electric. It's cool, I'll be just waiting to see how many lipos go up in flames, ESC go up in smoke and motors run just too damn hot to touch due to the high AMP demand a 4S set up asks for in these heave vehicles. Good luck to all that follows ROAR with their rules.

Just noticed that the 2009 ROAR rules are up on the ROAR site. It appears that the 1/8 offroad electric rules are included in it. Dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but I figured Id mention it in case it hasn't been yet.

Is there only going to be a buggy class?

I don't see any rules for 1/8th Truggies so it seems buggies only for now.

Maybe when the Truggies are added we'll see a 6S Lipo limit
