Default Lipo..

OK... I am like 2 years behind here. I have been using NiMH batteries for my driveway racing.(I don't race at the track. .. . there is no track around here). I would like to try Lipo now.
From my readings I figured out this much..
1. I need a new ESC with voltage cut off...or the buzzer... How well do the buzzers work?
2. I need a Lipo charger. = I think I will buy the Intellipeak ICE. I like Duratrax chargers.
3. I need a balancer
4. 2 cell 7.4V is what will fit.


I don't need the top of the line stuff. I just need what will work.
What would you recommend for the ESC and balancer?


Q's...
1. Does a 3000 mah Lipo last longer than a 3000 mah NiMH?


2. How long would a 3000 mah Lipo last on a F103 with a silver can?


3. How long does it take to charge a 3000 mah Lipo?

4. Am I forgetting anything important?


TIA.
