Yeah, true. Nimh are important to this industry so don't expect them to go anywhere. At least they are priced right nowadays. I walked into a HS not too long ago (one that caters to planes,ect, way out of the loop on electric racing) and they had near-ancient 3000 packs that were priced at almost 85 bucks. You can get them for far better deals now, and with better than 1.14 volts
(which ofcourse, helps lead us into this conversation concerning voltage increases and cell reduction as a result
)
