lipo! less maintenance, longer lifespan, more capacity, less weight, more current, more time for fun! :D

I'm going to stay with NiMhs for 09 ...... not convinced by the LiPo thing at all.

But I might well be alone reading things on here!

You are, but Nimh might catch on if you fly the flag long enough roger, just like the RB5 has :lol:

haha, i thought that too!! :D

Im all for the ease, Lipo can only be the way forward in this sport for 2 reasons..

1. Super simple no hassle
2. I think personally there more safe, They dont expload with out prior warning like NIMH

If anything there should be a change pouch for NIMH!
