Wow! You really go all out when building your minis. Nice work
. Thanks for the info on the shocks. I'm not sure they would work for me as I want a shock that is a bit longer than the stock RC18MT shocks. The mini-t shocks I bought are just a little longer for more travel. Your RS4 shocks do look awesome though. I love that beefy look on minis. I'll keep them in mind going forward
You really should take another looks a lipos. I was also scared to death and spent a long time reading and learning about them before using one. Maybe you can build a "battery bunker" to charge your batteries in and put a smoke/fire detector above the setup. In all honesty your supposed to keep an eye on any type of battery you charge. With that said I do understand your concerns and fires can and do happen. Lipos aren't for everyone but they have nice benefits.
