I've been doing RCs for years but I have been hesitant to go Lipo, not really sure why though . . .

Can't wait to see the performance difference between Lipo and NiMH!

Thanks again Duster for all the great information!

Sounds like you haven't quite caught that 4.2v/cell is fully charged, 7.3ish is only partially charged, make sure you charge them fully before you use them - you should see 8.4v off the charger!!
