HOLY WHEELIES BATMAN!!!!! wow, someone tell me how much more power a lipo will have than this venom 7cell pack, then I'll be convinced... welcome to the power word pedeboi364...

A guy I work with has two venom 5000mAh 6 cell packs and a good friend of mine has a 7 cell 4200mAh and they both seem to work well.

The only first hand experience I have with NiMH vs. Lipo is between 3900mAh6 Cell Orion Rocket Packs and 8 cell 4500mAh Elite NiMH packs and 2S-5S lipo.

I can say that my smallest lipo the MA 4000mAh 2S in just as or nastier in my rustler than any NiMH I have tried.

I like that idea!!! C'mon guys, I don't have much $$!!! However, I do have deals pending on a charger from lincpimp, and a 2s 4300mah 20c zippy from Rze ST, all I need is a balancer... and lower prices

As you could guess by now, I'm convinced... Help me sell my stuff!!! (fs thread in the General Discussion area) Tell ur friends, tell ur dog, tell ur parents!!! Let's get this kid some lipos!

I can't say exactly how much more, but having batteries that allow the motor to draw 300-500% more current on startup does wonders for performance!

Convinced?????

LIPOS are definitely better, but if you have not gotten this fact yet, then you have not been reading through the RCM threads enough. Then again the best reference any of us can depend on is our own experiences with the R/C products that are available to us. Get yourself a good Lipo pack and let us know how that works out for you.

Lipo is the single most important thing to happen to electric. Brushless is a close second, but IMO without lipo, brushless looses much of its shine.

even brushed motors benefit from lipo. all of my crawlers run lipo, and a few use brushed motors. Huge difference over nimh, especially when startup power is compared!
