Default Lithium Poly Thread

How many of you guys run LiPo in your cars? Today I bought my first Lithium Poly pack from All Speed.com and I'm anxious to try it. In the store, feeling the weight, man this thing is SO light compared to C-cells we all use. And the packs can handle 30-45A, which is more than enough.

Also reading the instructions, I found this interesting tidbit: "Other than size, there is virtually no limit on the current capabilities of a LiPo battery. The more cells you parallel the more current you can draw. Paralleling multiple series packs increases your capacity."

This is awesome.
I wonder when LiPo's will become the norm in RC cars.
