Rules regarding the use of Lipo Batteries:

To maintain the safety of people using these batteries and everyone else who is at the club, the committee have put together the following guidelines to which we would like users to stick to if they decide to use Lipo batteries.
All Lipo batteries should be charged at no more than 1C.
NO discharging of lipo batteries allowed in the pits.
• Any Lipo Battery used must be BRCA approved.
• Any Lipo Battery used must be of the hard cased variety.
• When charging at the club anyone using Lipo batteries must re-charge them in a Lipo sack or a suitable protective container.
• All Lipo batteries must be charged on a charger that is suitable for charging Lipo batteries.
• It is advised that people use a Speed controller which has a Lipo safety cut-off feature or an in-line Voltage cut-off device.
All of these guidelines are designed for the safe usage of Lipo batteries and to prevent accidents. Please follow these guidelines if you intend to use Lipo batteries at the club.

Anyone is eligible to compete in any class but all drivers must have BRCA Insurance which can be obtained through us by becoming a member or sourced by the participant through other means. If new to the hobby then you are allowed to race a maximum of three times before you have to show evidence of having BRCA insurance, we do recommend that anybody participating in radio controlled car racing should get BRCA Insurance as soon as possible.
