I see more people in this thread are using the RCPD conversion than the Losi conversion. Is there any reason for this?

Are you guys all running a single 14.8V Lipo or 2 7.4V Lipos?

The price of the batteries is really the big reason not to convert. Seem there are only 2 options; the really expensive Losi Hard cased battery with a 25c rating or the cheap soft batteries with a 15c rating.

Also I think this is the "new" thing in off-road racing so I would think there is a lot of new products in the works. Maybe some 100% engineered electric 1/8 scale buggies. Also I live/race in Japan and this hasn't caught on much yet on this side of the Pacific.
