Good......thanks! I was thinking.....you know......I've been using lipo batteries a few years now (planes , helicopters, losi mini-LST2).....and I have several decent lipo chargers.....so when I get the sprint 2 (soon I hope), naturally I'll need to get some big 2 cell lipos to use in it. And so I was checking out current prices on 5000mah hard case racing types and about had a heart attack ($100-$150 per).

So I checked some of my old standby cheapo battery sources and found some normal soft type lipos 4000-4400mah 25-30C ones for around $20-$25. Those are way more my style and price range.....should be fine until I go brushless.....and I won't be racing anywhere that's going to demand hard case batteries......so I'll be golden! Got to use those big chunks of cash for more car kits......instead of super expensive batteries!!!
