I happened to used a gel cell the same one for like 5 years now in my starter box. I happen to like the weight of it at sometimes. Like when you get that crazy guy that just throw you stuff around by mistake it helps keep it planted. but carrying the dang thong sucks.i been thinking of going lipo but this gel cell just dont die cant seem to just leave it on the bench. For lipo amain hobbies got some 2600mah ones for like 36 bucks it under starter box battery. Will I can be wrong on the mha but you dont need a big mah lipo to go for the weekend.i did nhim the gel cell will work a lot better. I also run my comp heater of the same gel cell in my starter box never had a problem yet going two weekends on it easy.
