I run 1/10th electric TC using Orion 4800 Platinums. When my gel cell gives out on my 10244 box, I use two 4800 in series as a back up. I run 3-4days out of the week and after 2 weeks, I haven't charged my 4800's yet. This is on the extreme side and wouldn't recommend it if you have a race to attend. I am doing so to see how long they would hold. Stick with a gel cell and charge it when you get home from running all day. Bring 2 6cell NiMh packs with you just in case. There is no need to spend anymore money on LiPo packs strictly to use in your Starter Box unless you already use them else where.
