hi chief
i dont use nimhs very often now only for use in our club touring car for beginners
i wouldnt worry about cycling/discharge every use
dont be put off by horror stories of lipos i have used them in aeroplanes and helicopters since they first became available (no balance leads in them days) ,i have never had a fire or exploding lipo yet,
Of course there have been incidences and you do need to be careful with lipos
follow charging instructions carefully you will be fine
I had more issues with nimhs and nicads in the 90,s with false charging and cells going pop than i ever have had with lipos
