Im not running Lipo's now and not for sure if i will in the Future unless i start racing a Slash and run Lipo's in it or run a lipo in my transmitter. But for right now im only using Nimh and Nicad's for my receiver pack, starter box and my transmitter pack and glow ignitor. I have a Onyx 200 right now and i might want to upgrade the only thing it does not do is charged is 8 cells like my transmitter and of course it will not discharge or cycle but im not sure if i need those features.
