You don't have to "go LiPo" when using a brushless system. If you have good quality NiMh cells and are using a moderately powered brushless system, it'll be fine...most of the time. High current draw applications...I'd definitely switch over to LiPo. Depending on the quality of the NiMh cells, they will be good for 30A~40A. It's been a long time, but I believe NiMh packs can handle those rates. If someone has better insight, please let me know.
