Still waiting on some things.. Don't know if to use 4S2P 5000 packs or 14/16 nimh cells.. Meant to be a basher.. but an endurance basher would be nice too.. :)
Go lipo man! More runtime, less weight, more power; is it that hard of a decision? If you are worried about the durability of the pack, you can build a aluminum case around it like Cadima did in his CRT thread. (check the last page for pics)
