I wouldn't bother with the Losi stuff. The batteries are quite poor for the price charged. A nice Hyperion would be far better. Even the cheaper CX range would be better than the Losi packs.

I'd also go with a Hyperion charger too, good value and excellent features.

The batteries, well looked after, should last hundreds of cycles, or probably 4 or 5 seasons of racing. Far more than any nitro engine.
