What Batteries You Mainly Use - NiCad, NiMH, Lipo
#17
I don't use any of those batteries listed. I am using LI-FE batteries, the A123 batteries. I sold all my nimh batteries about 4 months ago, except for the AA rechargeables I am using in my transmitter. I use the A123s to race, 2S1P packs and I am allowed to use them in the stock class here too! I use a 3S1P pack in my rock crawler, and I plan on throwing in a 5S2P pack in my custom e-maxx/4-link brushless monster truck.

I use a123 cells as well. I run a 3p2s pack in my xxx-t pro truck & then I run a 2p 5s pack in a converted 1/8th scale. I get around 20 minutes of run time depending on the track. It is a perfect setup for running longer mains w/out putting too much weight in the buggy. I use velcro straps to keep the batteries in place so I can make a quick pit stop at the midpoint in the mains. Once I pit I can always have my pit man drop the pack on the charger and give me enough juice to endure anything that is left in a 45 minute main after I pit a 2nd time.

i use ni-cd but only because i'm too cheap to afford ni-mh (it helps when you have 8 stick packs too )

NIHM's here in all my vehicles, RX and TX. Money is the factor that is keeping me from upgrading.

I think you should poll what majority of racers would like to run? NICAD, NIMH or LIPO.
