Most Clubs allow them now.
Anyway.
"Onward and upwards"  :lol:
As a matter of interest?

If I was to offer 6 packs of IB4200's and a Millennium Pro Charger, Would anyone be interested?

For off-road this year we're going to allow Lipo batteries.

Only regulation is that they are on the ROAR approved list
