1s Lipo from hobbyking & booster, will this work?

[Homerjhandley]

hi all, having issues with a single NIMH cell (not bad, lasted 2 years!) so considering getting a LIPO instead and runing that instead of 2 packs of 500Mah NIMH's.

looking at hobbyking i can get one a 5000Mah lipo for £12, so how much would this cope with a nights racing (4x5mins) as i have heard that it should cope fine (or will the 5600 be better?) http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...Lipo_Pack.html

also what booster will i need? i also have a core 2.4G setup.

i am running a mardave brushless setup, and people have had issues with this with 1s, and again i dont want to buy lipo then find it is of no use!

any advice accepted!
