I've used lipos for years in RC planes, the power density vs weight makes them essential. I'm pretty new to tanks too, but considering the relatively low amp draw from most tanks and the fact that extra weight may be a benefit I consider nimh's about perfect. Plus they don't require the dedicated balancing chargers you should use and extra care during charging and discharging with lipos. I've been buying 5300 mah 7.2 nimhs on ebay for less than $20 apiece.
