The only battery packs I have are NiCds that are probably long since toasted. I believe I'll go with the new LiPo technology, if for nothing else than the longer run times. I haven't made a decision on motor yet, but brushless seems to be the way to go. So I guess what I'm getting after...
Is it a pain to retrofit the TA03F chassis to use LiPo packs, and can I fit the larger gear combos needed for the faster brushless motor?
There are a few round edge lipos out there...but for some reason you have to do a lil digging to find them. For instance Reedy has a couple of Wolfpack batteries that are round edged. I believe the Gens Ace series from Hobbypartz has a few too...
