Personally, I think lipo's are BETTER for us normal folk and level the playing field. I don't mind being beaten by anyone who drives better than me (and that's a lot of people), what I do hate is being beaten by people with access to superior equipment. Anyone who races, and that includes Friday night drivers on a budget or superstars, knows that you have to buy batteries/motors etc. With lipo's you can get away with a couple easy and the price tag is no worse than a decent pack of NIMH. Coupled with that to keep the NIMH from going off you have to have a superduper equalizer/cell nurser and never ever breathe on the things. ........ Put the biggest capacity lipo you can in your car and you'll never get anywhere near to dumping so the lipo will stay in top condition. Get rid of all the expensive charging/discharging/looking after stuff and spend the money on a couple of packs of lipo's ......... as Lion-O said (almost), it's the future
