1. How often can you recharge Lipos.
repeatedly, I recharge almost after every heat/race if necessary

2. there only a certain amount on cycles a lipo has?
?? supposedly more charges in them than nimh, but I haven't got to the end of one yet

3. 3s 2s 20c 30c What is all that....
2s,3s is the amount of cells, a 2s has 2 cells and so on. 20c,30c is the discharge rate, how much power it can discharge at, so a 35 c will provide more power than a 20c

4. I don't race just bash and would like a battery that lasts a good while. Setup will be Traxxas velineon setup.
anything around 3400 or more will suffice, a 5000 will give more run time

I read about the cutoffs, charging/discharging so I'm ok with all that I think. If theres a link please post it for me.
Lipo can be very dangerous, so always make sure you have a lipo cutoff,and eliminate any distractions before you charge, making sure you dont charge at the wrong rate---booom--then flames..

Thanks for the info

No problem
