You have also not took into account that because the LIPO won't fit in my car there is no chance of selling it at a reasonable price to help finance my new purchases.

Oh and on the price argument you need to keep things consistent, as has been previously stated!!! But by shopping around I bought factory team spec Ener-G cells last year (in the UK) for a massive £45 a pack which is £135 for three packs making them cheaper than your LIPO calculation.

So with your calculation of LIPO at £150, plus my new car at £300 makes a total of £450. By staying NIMH, even if we take the price at full wack of £60 and four sets of cells (£240) I still save myself £210, by not going LIPO. So if anyone says LIPO is cheaper, it isn’t from my point of view At the present time unless you already have the electrics and car I can't see that going LIPO is cheap at all, or has any advantage over someone racing NIMH's!!!


I think the point in some ways has been missed in that next year you can still run NIMH's IF YOU HAVE GOT THEM. We haven't got to run LIPO so being LEGAL to race next year should be even easier as there is going to be even more choice of cells to chose from.taken that you already have a charger/balancer to go backwards

added some bits you have missed out!
