So you're comparing your 5k lipo to ____? 3300 6 cell?
I'm on the fence... buy a couple new 6 cells or 2 lipo's and charger...
Is the hardcase smaller than the ones you have?
If you have them tomorrow at joe's I'd like to try one for a minute!

Trust me i was in the same boat rather to spend the money on lipos and charger or nimh packs i bought the nimh packs then later bought a couple lipos and a charger. I wished i never bought the nimh batteries i wish i could pawn them off on someone, but most of them have the traxxas connector on them and some people think it sux but i personally have no problem with em at all (but i am running stock stuff in my slash too)

Yea, Kuff let me cut up his chassis so the lipo's would fit and press fit it is, ask Kuff for yet I have found another use for duct tape. LOL
And yes, Kuff's truck is on the edge of stupid fast, Lipo made a big difference. It was fun to drive something with that much power. I am so Jealous.

I had a great time running at the construction site today. Glad you got to check it out finally Bossman. It was cool as hell getting two Baja's running at the same time.
