AMEN
You might not like the weight change, It will make you upset when you just dropped $100 on some li-poly cell and charger and you put it all together and your M8 leans way forward. It iritated me so much I sold it and got a Helios and have never looked back. There is a reason why the m-8 feels balanced with 8 cells in the bottom, it was designed to have that weight there. Now with the helios it is balanced differently so a li-poly cell will feel better. Just try it, with your ni-mh cells( I.E. put only three cells in the tray One in each section) then see how it feels. I race 1/8th scale buggies for hour long mains and after about ten minutes my wrists would feel all cramped up. If you can handle the mis-balanced then go for it. Just another opinion.
Thanks for listening,
