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!

i have an opinion, i gave it, i don't really need the personel insults, at no point did i plead ignorance to any other cell going bang, i am pointing out that these cells require a little care when in use and when charging and that that is different to the current cells.
voltage differences, yes you can buy nimh packs with nominal voltages of each cell being higher than 1.2v, thats why people spend hours looking through new cells to find those elusive high voltage ones, its why matching companies exist. i just checked the figures on a 6 pack of ib4200 the total for all 6 is 7.41v, thats a top spec and top price matched pack and it equals any 2cell lipo, you would assume therefore that a top spec top price lipo will of course be higher than 7.4. i cannot see how two batteries with different nominal voltages could race together without one racer believing he was at a disadvantage. if your saying that there is no performance difference between these packs then that begs the question why would you fit one, i don't need anymore duration, i would need a different charger and they cost more. not exactly appealing at the moment. so what advantages would buying this type of battery give me?
