Well I tried lipo for the first time on saturday on my secreet test track (ok an old BMX course) and really didn't like them!
For me they have far too much punch (I am dropping winds at a pace though and will probably have to go back to brushed, as nobody seems to do 8.5 or 9.5 brushless motors which are on the BRCA list!!!).
I tried them in the car (RB5) with no weight and it ruined the handling ..... now at least I know that the extra weight I've added to the front even when running NiMhs was the right thing to do. I put a piece of stainless steel under the pack which actually brought the weight up to about 5g more than my E-Power 4500s and the handling was back to normal.
Was very interesting and I can see why those people who like loads of punch are raving about them but they are not for me as they are at the moment for sure!
As an aside has anybody run lipo with brushed motors? If so how so the motors hold up??
