for a non-lipo or lipo setup, this setup is pretty solid now that they have the v2 motor.

the max cell ratings for the motor and esc are 14cell nimh or 4s lipo. you can get 2 2s lipos for only $20 each and there is a good charger for $38.

those lipos are actually 20c-30c.

this is the charger i have and it will work for just about all types of batteries.
