I've got no idea if I'd forget to charge a receiver pack or not, and I've plenty of chargers...just grab one out of my planes kit. For me it's personal choice, and I opt for simple/convenient. The day I need (or feel I need) a receiver pack is the day my 1/12 cars go up on the shelf. Period. Talk about taking all of the convenience we have realized by going to the LiPo batteries and flushing it down the crapper...by adding the IN-convenience of yet another battery pack to keep track of.
Yes, I have had a motor go bad but, as I posted earlier, my HS doesn't stock boosters, they do however stock motors. If a booster goes bad in the middle of race day and I don't keep an extra in my box, I have to pack up and leave. In a points season, missing even one qualifier can cost you the entire days worth of points and one day of points can cost you the entire season.
My original post was just to show the other side of the story. The first person asking wanted to know the pros and cons of each and I was only showing my side of the story.
The way I see it, there is no one right way to do it. You prefer your way and I prefer my way.
