Dead NiMH cells = new lipos

[Crash]

Just like the title says - lipos required. However seeing as you guys are always so helpful I thought I'd ask a couple of questions......

What saddle lipos would you recommend, that don't cost the earth

and how many would I need for a meeting? 1, 2 or 3?

Also can I use lipo with my current lrp quantum esc and brushed motors?

Vampire Lipos are pretty decent , i know that JE spares had Reedy Lipos at 79.99.

I run one pack of Reedy Lipos at our local club , just topping up through the day.

£79.99 is about £40 more than you need to spend if you're just club racing. Go onto eBay and make sure to buy hardcase only.
As mentioned 1 set is fine to run 1 car for a meeting.

Ive just bought some ebay 35C 5000mah and I can get two races from one charge if needed and they give plenty of power.
If you are racing at the top level then you might want to spend more but for club racing they are more than enough.

You could get cheaper versions but I wanted to get cells with come certification (just incase I do the odd national meeting)

Thanks for the input guys
what about using my existing esc?

Had a look at the Demon saddle lipo which seemed ok but now you've mentioned eBay I'll have a look there too for an import.

Hi,

If it was me I'd look at:

Team Orion
Vampire Racing
Speed Passion
Corrally
IB

I'd have a look at the list on the BRCA website and then see what deals you can get. http://www.brca.org/BRCA/elecboard/n...20v2%20pdf.pdf

What's your budget and is it for racing at TORCH? SteveB may have some LIPOs as he's got a B44 to sell. You should be able to get away with one set for TORCH etc.

Shame you didn't make it on Sunday, was awesome.
