This track is a big track with lots of big jumps and there is a big elevation change. Thanks for any help.
Lipos all the way. NiMh is the past. NiMh requires more maintenece, charge discharge, run once a day etc...
Lipos, charge, recharge, balance charge every so often.
no question which to get.
I bought two NiMh packs from Pro-Match when I first got my son's Slash. I take care of my stuff and was using a good charger. Still had the bad luck of poping a cell.
One thing about the batteries I linked- not ROAR aproved so make sure that isn't a requirement at your track.
So I just order 4 of these-
