Wow guys thanks a lot. i will be purchasing a lipo setup in the near future but like you say i will do a bit of homework first. thank you again for all your information you are a great help to somebody who is just getting into the hobby.

as for the chassis i have a crappy old 1/10 truggy i dont even have a shell for it at the moment im just having a bit of fun doing it up. everything i have put on it so far i can take off and put on another vehicle anyway.

but yes.

one more question.

What is the MAIN advantage/s of lipo batteries? over nimh/nicd.
