lipo plan!

[supermaxx4190]

hey guys,

my original plan was to go back to 12 cells with an 8L to keep weight down, but i think i found a better and lighter solution and still run my 10L. the kokam packs that mike runs are a very good deal now that i did the math. i will be buying a 3s and a 2s 3200mah 20C packs from tower.

then i get another $25 off, so that is about $175 for the batts

problem is my triton can only charge 4 lipo cells at a time and only at 2.5 amps. that would mean over 2 hours of charging. that just wont work. so then i found this charger

it can charge all my nimh batts for the qualifers and then can charge 5 lipo cells (what i will be running) at 3.2 amps, so that means recharge of only 1 hour. the charger is also a killer deal at $82 bucks. looks like im going lipo! just gotta save a little more and wait till the charger comes out. but after thinking about the price and WEIGHT of 3300s, the lipo seems like a way better way to go. also, in all i will save about 1 1/2 lbs in batts compared to my 3300s! they will also fit perfect into a g-maxx chassis. i have heard that if these cells get hit, they will explode. do i need to make some kind of gaurd? thanks guys.
