# of cells with NiMh
 

I very new to brushless I know nothing! I see people using 11.1v lipos why can't you use more cells with NiMh to get 11.1v? I understand that you would have to make it fit... but would it work the same?

RE: # of cells with NiMh
 

well if u dont know lipos give u another good 15mins with a mini 18scale instead of the standard 15-20mins
also they are 3cell batts but are alot more powerful then regualr cells

RE: # of cells with NiMh
 

Yep, that may be around 9 cells.

You still wouldn't get the same run times, and think about how much it would weigh.

RE: # of cells with NiMh
 

a 10 cell pack ill give you the same as a fully charged lipo

I run 7 cell Gp1100 nimh packs, I bought two at [link]http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com[/link] for I believe it was around 42 dollars, and they make my mamba comp-x in my MSF fly, fast as anyone would ever need a 1/18 to go, around 50's. so I got two good packs made how I wanted them to fit nicely for less than one li-po that is harder to fit, worse to charge(not really just gotta be more careful)...dont get me wrong I love li-po for my 3-D foam planes, but in a car I dont think they are needed at all...just my two cents

would this be a good lipo http://b-p-p.com/proddetail.php?prod=h_%23TP1320_11.1 I'm thinking of getting the MLST and brushless! What charger would be good (cheap)

RE: # of cells with NiMh
 

hobbico poly charger is real cheap, cheaper than the battery ;)

Duratrax Ice charger Is 120, but it is an excellent charger, and charges everytype of battery
