You will need a lipo charger if yours doesn't charge lipo? Which could be quite expensive if you want a good quality one.
So will the Sphere that I've bought from you have cut off etc? My Pro-peak Charger says it can do LIPO, but I'd nead a balancer etc?

I was going to buy a Spintec for my NIMHs, but thought about spending the money on 2 x LIPOs instead etc. and giving up with the dead NIMHs. Write the money off etc.

What was on my shopping list:
Spintec charger for the remaining IB4200 cells - 3 left (only just bought them 2nd hand off here )
KO Helios 2.4Ghz set-up
LIPO cells x 1 or 2
