I have seen way more problems with Nimh cells than Lipo. The only way I've seen a lipo blow is it being charged on Nimh instead of Lipo settings.

The last few months I ran Onroad back in about 2008, we had atleast one cell explosion per night with the Nimh packs, and they blow violently without warning.

Back when lipo first came out and nobody knew what they were doing maybe it was more dangerous. But the cells are better now and with most of the smart chargers you really have to try to blow up a lipo. Not saying accidents don't happen but they are far and few between.

Thanks for the info everyone. I guess I shouldn't bother with NiMH. There isn't a top tier company I can find that even sells loose NiMH cells. I guess that should tell me everything I need to know.

plus with same motor. you can see a speed diffrence and runtime diffrence side be side. li-po winds. (plus you want to race 7.2 volts against 7.4 volts0

Price of li-pos have come down so so much, and chargers are same price. good choice to go li-po. plus longer run time, in a smaller package. that and you dont have the matched battery war anymore.

Been reading alot on this thread. Can't wait to add one of these to my line up. Gonna be a challenge to run 4 classes:lol:

I was there easter i dident see you had no luck this time but there will be more chances ill be there late july.;) See you than and enjoy the 44.

Yep, Tekin 13.5. It was great off the triple. :D

Your the second person i've seen running a 13.5 in a 4wd buggy. Its got to be slow,right?

Not with timing and boost. Besides, that is what we run at our track. There are no other 4wd buggy classes.

If your boosting everything then why dont you guys just get an 8.5 and leave it stock with no boost so it runs alot cooler..

Whats a good setup for a wet indoor clay track that is on the larger side? Also what is a good gearing setup with a 6.5? Thanks

Are you talking about westcoast rc? 18/81

Well.. I was actually talking Bout SDrC but I may go up there at some point

Just got the car its SOOOO sick. i looked for a bit through some of the pages but what mods should be a nessesity?!

To be honest, the 2 biggest changes that made a big difference for me was the rear carbon c brace and the new AVID BB springs. Get the diffs set and slipper set right and you will have a load of fun..
