To answer some of the previous questions- I do not want to spend the additional amount at this time to go brushless. I want to stick with brand new-not used.
As far as Li-Po goes, I have had alot of experience with Ni-Mh since they first came out and I am comfortable with them.
My two biggest concerns are price and I also have my rigs sit for months without use and I have read that will destroy Li-Po's. Also, there is a big range in quality between manufacturers as shown in the big differences in price ranges.
Am I incorrect in thinking this?
