A lipo is indeed sa bit more expensive then a conventional NiMH-battery.
But with ONE lipo you can drive the whole day. With NiMH you will need more then one packs if you want to drive more then one heat.
+ maintenance on the Lipo is much easier then on a NiMH.
So in my humble opinion, LiPO is better and over all cheaper for beginning RC-drivers.
