If you go battery get a decent leisure battery as they are designed for deep discharge, modern car battery don't like it and will soon fail. Also worth buying a battery box to store it in to prevent spillage.

I'd not go with the small boost batteries myself,


Oh and one thing you should never do, charge your lipo fully the rnight before, it's a proven way to make them swell
Hi Mark

Thanks for info. Regarding the charging of the Lipos, I wasn't aware it would damaged them if you fully charged the night before , are they ok to be charged to say 80% then topped up at the track?
