With a V2 you will have no problem running 15-20 minutes !

I ordered two Lipos so I hope they are good. Question...
I want to get the most out of them, how do you balance the cells? Do I need a charger that will balance them? If so, highend charger do you recommend?

From what I understood you can use any charger charging one cell and charge first cell one using the positive wire of your charger and plug the negative in the 2mm tube on the back and then you charge the second cell by pluging the negative wire of the charger to the negative pole of the battery and the positive on the little 2mm tube on the back.
It will fully charge individually both cells and re-balance them.

That would be very simple, and possible, that would mean that de small hole on the rear just connects to the 'bar' that connects + from one to - from the other cell...
I'm wondering why doesn't orion mention this feature??

Anyone that's wondering the Orion Lipo will not fit in a Xray T2.
That sucks, since I just bought two of them. I hope Xray and other companies will start making a chassis that will work with them. I had to mod my XXX-S so I guess I can use them for street bashing.

Seems like a really simple process.
Any idea as to how often this would be neccesary. I know that Orion doesn't feel its all that neccesary.
