Budget Buggies...lipo ready?
 

Hello,

Could anyone say if the Thunder Tiger Phoenix XB is fit for lipo batteries?

In there pictures it has Tamiya connectors from the battery. Are these compatable with lipos?

I'm looking for a competitive beginner car I can break myself in gently with NiMh batteries, before unleashing the full Lipo speed potential!

Also been looking at Associated RC10 B4.1. So again, can I run nimh before going lipo with this car too?

any thoughts much appreciated...

Connected to your other question - go for the B4.1. A better platform with widely available spares.

Lipo fitting is not a problem, and you can run NiMH in them too.

PS don't waste money on buying NiMH nowadays - money down the pan. Go for LiPo straight away. You needn't fear the power, they aren't much faster than a good NiMH was back in the day (ie 2008!)
