It was really confusing timing which to use, which to charge etc. Decided we want to go Lipo - we are equipped for it, both running Exceed 70A speedos and 10.5 motors, charger can charge Lipos also.

Problem is I am on a very tight budget; Been looking at Lipos from Hong Kong on Ebay Example:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-2800mAh-30C...item27adc75c25

To equip ourselves with 4 batteries would come in at under £50 - Is this a false economy? Bearing in mind our driving abilities, is 30C too powerfull? Any advice on buying from the East or recommendations please.

Cheers,

Jez

just be carefull mate check the dimensions of the battery before you buy my mate bought the ones youve mentioned and they are very small in size i think they are meant for a plane or something
