Default lipo questions

As It looks like I will have a enforced 6 weeks away from racing, im pondering going for a change of set-ups. I'm keen on getting 3 lipos (7.4v 3200) ones (they sell em on ebay for £25 inc postage).

I will be racing one of those ez-run 9t brushless systems. Will the extra 0.2 volts make a difference? When I charge my std batteries my eagle charger says that they are at 8.6volts when charged. (they are gp3300's)

I'm just a bit confused, and wonder if its worth it or should I spend my money on a 501x for the new indoor bury circuit?

Default trakpower

I'm not out to "steal" your thread, but i have som simular Q.

I've just ordered a 4800mah trakpower saddle pack for my 501x. will they be a direct fit, or do I have to modify something?

how would these cells work with my LRP 5,5 BL??

I also bought the trakpower lipo y-balancer, anything else I need? I already have a Swallowes lipo charger.
