Need LiPo replacement help
We're a school working on a robot project and are pretty new to RC stuff. We need help with replacing or current LiPo battery as they are now banned in competition. We are using thunder power 1300 mAh 11.1v, 45C/90C. Is there any other battery type that has this similar output? Anything other than LiPo will work. Thanks!

If standard lithium ion batteries are allowed that will be the closest replacement. If not, a top quality NiMh pack at a bit more voltage will keep you in the game. If you are able to change motors, a 3 or 4 cell LiFe can give you just as many amps as a Lipo but will differ significantly in the voltage. A different Kv rating on your motor will compensate for that though.

I'm guessing this is because some moron saw a youtube video of a Lipo fire and now thinks they'll all do that? Common sense is not terribly common in education.
