as for Li-Po batts and long run times. the dreams of 20+min heats......a hobby shop nightmare, for having to run races over several days. imagine the days/weeks it would take to run the NATS
Hey, they do for Gas cars..... Why not electricts. Think about how much more parts they could sell - bearing, arms, diff rebuild stuff. It would work out really good for them. I would love a 15 minute electic mod main!!

I have about $600 in GP3300 alone (8 packs) I would gladly trade them all for 1 or 2 Li-Po packs. My quasar charger was $200 when I bought it, and the charger they recommend for the Li-Po is $150.

Also, I just bough $60 worth of brushes for my Mods alone, not including all the brushes I have for stock and 19t motors. Brushless will prove less expensive over time - say a coulple weeks!
