Well, I run a 2650 NiMH pack in just about everything and if I'm just bashing I can go 4 days without recharging. I suppose if you had some sort of ultra high draw servos or something it might be warranted. Would I drop a load of $ on lipos to replace my trouble free, no worries, NiMH packs? Nope. Don't get me wrong, I do use lipos where the use of them is beneficial or warranted. But I wouldn't go out and spend 8000 bucks on a 50 cal. that may or may not explode in my face if I don't baby it, and then pay extra for golden bullets to hunt ducks with just because I can shoot all day without re-loading. A $200 shotgun will usually do the trick. That "golly I just don't wanna charge my pack or change it cuz it's too much work", thing kinda makes you wonder if "golly I just don't wanna re-fuel because I'll hafta bend over" is next. To each his own I guess.
