nope not true

i have done the last biws with a 5.5 nosram and lipo, lipo charged straight after marshalling at 5 amps (not warm when they came off track) (manufacture say 2c is ok (which is ten amp)
if one pack £78 was to last 6 months (remeber there is no performance loss until they do not fade like nimh) the two times £78 is still cheaper that 5 packs at £40 which will have droped off after one year.

DCM have you tried /experienced lipo yet?
