Lipo's are 3 times better than other batterys. As long as you balance charge them, check for swelling and take care of them, they last a long time. Yes the chargers are more expensive than the nicad/nimh chargers but its worth it!

If you want to get into the lipo game, and are looking at the prices of lipos and chargers, I highly reccommend www.hobbypartz.com

I've been running hobbypartz since i first got into the sport a little less than a year ago.

try this battery
http://www.hobbypartz.com/98p-40c-50...se-direct.html

try this charger
http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html

hobbypartz will save you a TON OF $$$
I havnt had any problems with their stuff, and just because its cheap, doesnt mean it isnt better. Gens Ace lipos are Grade A stuff.

Have Fun!!
