Returning to RC Lipo advice
 

Haven't raced for 7 years due to having kids, still got my B4 which going to carry on with initially and brushless esc/motor etc.

But I'm going to need new batteries, I see it's all lipo now, seems to be so much choice. Can anyone recommend decent value lipo battery for club racing. I take it you need just 2 packs?

Also will need a new lipo charger, again what should I go for that isn't too expensive but not cheap rubbish?

Hi,

If there is enough time between rounds you can get away with one lipo battery. They are not like the old cells, they can be re-charged multiple times a day. (Two will make it easier / less of a rush to get things charged up.)

Charger lots of options. If you are starting off, one that works on 12v and mains (built-in) is ideal.
Something like this for a charger is a good option:

Lipo it would depend on where you are going to be racing, if you need to be using a battery that is on the BRCA battery list.

Don't forget a lipo bag for charging.

Good lipos
 

Turning nanotech from hobby king brilliant cells for the cost!

+1 for Turnigy Nano Tech. The Zippy lipos from Hobbyking are also excellent - £20 for a 6000mAh 50c.
Just make sure whatever you order are hard-cased

Gens ace are good if you need something off the BRCA approved list

Gens Ace through giant shark, excellent value/output, they also do some good chargers but you will probably get a better charger used on here
