i currently use lipo in a b4, i would use it in the 4wd cars but i would like a choice. joe's x6 and dans s2 could take lipo but as we cant use them at national/regional or club at the moment there doesn't seem much point. one question i do have is if EFRA go lipo for off road surely we must as well?

am i missing somthing? are you saying two packs are £240?
the 3200 retail at about £45 if you say two packs and £100 for charger/balancer units
