Hi all, thanks for the replies.

I'm guessing I should dust everything off and see what's not infested with redbacks or eaten by mice.

I have to admit I knew SFA about LiPo cells until alerted to their existence by another member of this forum who I happen to sit behind at work. As I'm starting from a knowledge level of zero, and I have seen some really impressive explosions on Youtube, what is the go with them?

I take from talking to Paul (aka Treefingers) and reading some of the above that I will need at least one battery, a new charger and a new ESC with a low-voltage cutoff. The internet wasn't that handy for this sort of thing in Australia back in 1998, where do I go, what do I buy and how much am I looking at? Any inside info on great deals, favoured sponsor status, great brands of cells/chargers to consider gratefully accepted .

thks again, Mick
