LIPO!!!!
I use one pack and charge it twice and thats 1 practice run and 2 qualifiers and a main. Even better when my brushless motor comes in.
More getting the setup right and less worry about Batteries.
Lipo's ARE the future whether you like it or not!!!!!

ROAR are you listening?
adding the 20 min Lipo Brushless Demo class at the nats this year was a good start!
