Lipo selection questions
I want to get started with a Lipo pack, but have found several and am not sure about which would be better for mod or stock racing at the club level.
1. Peak/Orion plastic block 4800 lipo $140
2. MaxAmps 4000 lipo pack $80
3. Apogee 4956 lipo pack $140
4. ?
Feed back on these would be great....like how long do they actually last(racing time for stock motor or mod or brushless) How long to charge them, How much capacity is actually used during racing and how long to recharge?
I can probably afford one pack only, so I just want to reuse it for 2 quals and a main.

You'd be able to get by with one pack very easily. We have a few of the Orion/Peak packs, and you'd be able to run at least two heats before having to top your battery off with those packs. Haven't run either of the other ones, can't help you there. If you nose around you can find pricing about $20 lower (shipped) than you have listed for the Orion pack.
