and the final point is safety, they do go bang and do so in a big way, both in use and whilst being charged 130 drivers at a national = at least one bang!
i can see it coming but not next year

ok and a higher voltage (all be it .2volt) does what to amps for the same wattage draw?
at biws in 6 cell touring car lipo and nimh ran side by side lipo took one win, (all cars to same weight) the advantage is in no loss of performance and easier charging.
if
miss used they do go bang yes, but so does any form of power cell. to date only nimh has cost one racer a very badly injured eye and another not so good, lipo has non documanted. simply dont miss use em (corectly charge and dont go below 6 volts) and there safe, how many carry em in your pocket? (mobile phone)
to say they go bang and plead ignorance to any other cell being a danger is very poor knowledge!
