Lipo questions and racing from a noob...

[cunawarit]

Hi guys,

I’m very new at racing and I wanted to find out some info on Lipos, essentially what to get on a budget for 1/10 buggy racing The reason I am asking is because I lack a lot of punch compared to most people on the track...

Currently I take 4 NiMHs 2000mAh to a race meeting, one for each qualifying round and one for the final. Could I get away with a single 5000mAh Lipo and charge them in between rounds? Or would 2 Lipos be better?

As far as actual batteries and charger, I’ve read good things about Gens Ace packs in forums and they are cheaper than most. The club rules where I’ve been racing says they have to be BRCA approved and some of the Gens Ace are... I’m keen to get the cheapest BRCA approved batteries out there. Any particular pack that you would recommend? Keeping in mind that I am on a budget

Charger wise how about this something like this: http://www.giantshark.co.uk/power-b6...-p-406285.html

Is that any good? It woul dbe great if I could somehow spend well less than £100 and still get everything I need to go Lipo,.

Thanks
