I am currently playing around with lipos in my 12th. The one in these pics is a Common Sense RC 2000mah 7.4v 15c. The pack is hard to see in these photos because I have basically wrapped it with weight straping tape. The size and shape of this pack is great because it allows you to put the weight right were it should be (within the intended battery location).

Running a 21.5bl I am getting 9-11 minutes of runtime (depending on gearing) on a carpet oval. This combination is also giving power equal to a 13.5bl/4cell nimh.
