And anyone would think you have to have a big fat LiPo now. You can still start cars with a 12V car battery like we used to years ago, and for the noob a free car battery and a secondhand quality startbox is probably better than a new box and big $$$ LiPo, then he can spend some of the $$$ on other things
I think this is the route I'm going to go. I saw one with a 12 v battery and a charger or I'll pair a pair of nimhs, it will be more cost efficient then buying lipos, chargers, etc and having them soldered. With this box it's always an option for the future if I decide to.
Thanks for all the input, it's all helpful as I'm still learning. If anyone has more info/insight it is appreciated
Thanks
