I would deffo go to lipo saddle, no questions barred. I imagine if you would have asked this question 18 months ago when brushless was coming out you too would have got mixed replies.
Brushless and lipo has got to be the future.
I run cells with 2 overloader chargers, 1 smart tray. I discharge, equalise, charge, run for 1 race , cool down, top up for next race. Then when racing over, i go home and dig all my chargers back out and discharge , equalise and then put back 1000mah ready for the rigger of next weeks racing.
The biggest gripe for me is I charge on the day from racing, when i get to track, I have to discharge and equalise and then charge my cells before my cars even looks at the track, everyone has usually put a pack or 2 through there cars before booking in. With a lipo i could have charged it weeks ago and i could have spent more time on track ( much needed for me lol) thats got to be a massive bonus for me.
Lipo here i come lol.
