I've seen Zippy Lipo saddle packs (7.4V/5700mAh), that should fit for $30 (2 pcs)
So 12 batteries in your example will cost $180....
4 Lipo chargers (5A max) will cost $140, so all in all less expensive then 1 good Nitro engine.....
Sure, if you want overpriced batteries from LRP, or any other non OEM manufacturer.....
I go for Zippy batteries, run them in my M18 also, have 5 Lipo's for the price of 1 LRP....
Doing a fast battery change in the setup I see them fit in the 966, would be difficult...
But I think with 7.4V/22800mAh or probably 14.8V/11400mAh (to keep current as low as possible) Runtime would be more then 5 minutes...... (educated guess)...
