I'm keen to see Lipo's in off-road as I'm fed up with the lottery of NiMh buying, plus no more assembly and the other outdated crap NiMh's require.

I don't know all the Lipo risks hinted at on this thread. Why can't someone list them? I understand they can catch fire if damaged or charged incorrectly, but as somebody has already stated, I'd rather face the risk of a fire than exploding NiMh shrapnel inside a tent at point blank range.
Have a look in your latest BRCA circuit chatter, there is a full Lipo charging guide it. Do exactly what that tells you to do and you'll be laughing.
