I borrowed 2 Nimh packs off Ry when I first got a starter box, they were fine.

Then I bought a 4cell lipo from Hong Kong through Ebay, it started the car once then went up in smoke - literally. It was a new engine just run in, which was tight, possibly why it went.

So I bought a sealed lead acid motorbike battery which fits in and its bang on, reliable, can do two meetings between charges. I have chopped the wires inside so it plugs in with deans. Eventually im going to wire some external leads so I can charge it without removing it.
