thanks for the reply Serum.

The jury is still out for me on Lipoly. Its the 'catching fire' bit that still bothers me........with my luck !!!

10 L on 16 cells.....will that be significantly more powerful?

Now I do realise that Mr Shulze is probley not on your Christmas card list, but do you think the 18.97 will handle the XL with 18 cells or will I need a bigger amp controller?

sorry 'bout all the questions.......but if you don't ask, you never know :D
