Ok, I need a little help. I don't know much about the 21.5 LiPo class. For our race, I am not sure if we should follow the Marshall's SMC only battery rule or open it up to any 2 cell battery. Any feed back is appreciated.

Maybe I can get a few more of the Rochester contingent to come with me.

Why not follow SnowBirds rules ROAR 3200 Max?

Looks like ROAR 3200 Max. 2 Cell Batteries. The Rules will be updated on the website tonight.

a lot of guys are getting faster, quit a few hit the 69 lap mark today in 17.5 4-cell and 13.5 single cell. should be a great day of qualifying on the 4th!

Single Cell 13.5 Lipo was the biggest class today and I only think it is going to grow. The racing is awesome!
