Buying LiPo Cells

[shep1001]

Hello All


Returning to racing after a couple of years away spent working harder than playing.

Things have moved on! 2.4ghz radio and LiPo cells are now the std from what I read. I have my speedo sorted, should have a new charger in a week or so to charge cells on and can live with my old KO Esprite radio gear until I decide if I am staying with racing or selling up.

I want to buy some LiPo cells (how many sets?) but I am unsure of what to buy. I understand the basics of the cell specs but with such a variation in spec avaliable I don't know which to buy. Cost is not an issue.

I will be racing 4wd off road and have always used cells from Orion or LRP in the past in NiMh form. Both manufactures sell Lipo cells in stick configuration at 5400/5900 mAh for about £90.

So in your wisdom what should I do? any advice welcom
