I see lots of comments about converting to LiPo which made me think it was still so new that kit makers haven't started making vehicles that are engineered to accept a LiPo pack. What's the story on that?

Thanks agian.
A lot of cars on the market today have been designed when Lipos where still not competition approved so they were mainly aimed at Nimh packs. Some competitions still don't allow Lipos, but I think that will change in the future if not changed already. There are also a bunch of rather old cars people still race so that's another possibility to capitalise for a company making after market conversion kits.
