Na Noruega os campeonatos com carros elétricos foram proibidos até segunda ordem, devido a explosão de algumas baterias de nihm, os caras usam pack de 5 Cell pelo que eu li, acho que isso não deve afetar quando utiliza pack de 6 Cell.
Mas vale o aviso, as baterias terão que ser homologadas para serem vendidas na Noruega.
Tem algumas matérias e links abaixo a repeito disso...
Press Release
The Norwegian Motorsport Federation (NMF) has due to recent battery explosions decided to
stop temporary all racing and training with electric powered rc-cars. The stop of racing is
decided to be until 1st January 2008.
NMF has immediately changed the National Rules for RC-car racing in accordance with EFRA’s
rules regarding batteries in every class. The decision of changing the national rules are basicly
made after a report from a national race 4th of November this year where three explosions of
batteries were reported.
NMF has in the same decision stated that only batteries following the new EFRA-rules will be
allowed. The used batteries must be on EFRA’s list of approved batteries from 1st of April 2008.
NMF are recommending EFRA and commercial involved parts, to publish as soon as possible
recommended batteries used for rc-car racing. We do hope that EFRA will accelerate the
procedure of homologated and approved batteries. We will also recommend EFRA to publish
those approved batteries at once they are approved, and continue to do that until they are
finished approving batteries allowed to use in EFRA-races from 1st April 2008.
NMF hopes the first batteries following the new EFRA-rules, will be published and available for
drivers, before 1st of January 2008. If not, we will still pause the racing until new recommended
batteries are approved and available.

The Norwegian Federation has taken the rather drastic measure of calling a halt to all races and training for electric powered classes following 3 charging related ‘explosions’ at a 1/10th scale National last weekend. According to the source on oOple.com, a lot of the failures have occured in the past with the IB4200 cell, however the most recent failures that prompted this ban on racing were LRP VTecs and Team Orion 4200, both IB made cells. All racing will stay suspended until January 2008, although I’m not sure what will be different from then until now, perhaps a list of approved cells?

Norwegian federation NMF closed today down all organized practice and all races with all electric classes due to battery problems.
Last weekend 3 (!) batteries blew up when charging in a 1/10 track national.
Due to this problem and similar problems around europe they choose to close down all events imidiatly.
rumors say that from april 1.st 2008, EFRA will change their battery list and none of todays batteries will be allowed in 2008.
