'too good to be true' just about sums up lipo. but it's real. and it's here, now. and it's very good indeed.
I'm so glad I didn't p::s away £££s on 5/6 packs of lame NIMH cells when I decided to get back into the hobby. it was pure luck that I stumbled upon some forums with real-world lipo experiences, just like in this thread.
i've now gone a bit nuts and bought 4x trakpower 3200 saddle packs. but I could have easily gotten away with 2.
we will look back on nimhs in a year or so and just laugh.... all this 'factory matched zapped' nonsense, up to £70 quid a pack, the soldering, the maintenance, the balance trays, the crazy heat after runs, the memory effect, the weight - utter crazyness.
