If your stick packs are in good shape and of adequate capacity, you should be able to go a full day. In a pinch, they can be recharged at the track. But if you're set on ditching your charger and stick packs in order to go LiPo, good luck.
Good luck with what? I really wish folks on here would throw down some concrete advice instead of this "here's how I do it, anything else is wrong". I'm not calling you out specifically (you've typically been the type to help), but let's throw it on the table, sir. Why do you say "good luck"? Is it because you don't feel there will be much of a difference, or do you feel the it's not worth it, or what? I'm quick to tout things I have experienced and enjoyed but have never (or least hope not) tell someone "Oh, you're gonna use an OS #6 plug on your Hyper 7? Good luck".
Once again, please do not think this is directed at you, sir. Instead it's directed at the overriding immensely immature and punk-like attitude that some of the sit-at-home experts get when things are not exactly as have done.
I do think (actually I know) the sitck packs can do the job. However, if there is a a much better way, I'm open to it, of course. It would have to turn the wheel twice as fast for twice as long for me to have any interest.
At the same time, I don't want to get a LiPo just because everyone says it is the best. I'm not interested in having "the best". Instead,I just want something that is twice as good as the 7.2 stick packs. When I hear folks have sitck-packs for years without problems, I wonder "why the hell do people get LiPos then?'
As noted, I realizinI am venting, but do not take toward you NitroExpressI I know words on forums such as this can come out wrong, and get tired of filtering through a"ll the :"I know more than the next guy" mentality and consequently, if one deviates from what YOU do....then it must be wrong
Yes I understand that I am still a "newbie", but know one thing: this is not my first rodeo. In fact it would not surpise me to find I have as much - if not more - knowledge on Nitro RCs than some of the-mouths on here who pop off at the drop of a hat but in reality only have 1-2 cars and are better at teaching than doing! They really aren't RC experts, but they love playing one on the Internet. And instead of simply sayin "Here is what I think and why", their true insecure colors come out.
My son and I have accompished a lot in just one year, and I am CONFIDENT this will only exponentiate otver the next 12 months due to determination and passion we have for "the hobby".. All we can do is learn, and continue to learn....and then learn some more (it will never stop, as least I hope not). The best wayt to do this is by doing. However I will ALWAYS approaxch "the hobby" with an open mind and not **** with someone's decision making just because I might do it differently or have another oponion.
It's just like the OSe. Someobne (don't remembver who) made a comment "If wheel spin is your thing this engine is for you." However, after I pleaded. this person could not back up his statement at all. ****? Why would someone have such a bold opinon and not back it up with FACTS
Ugh!!!!! Okay, I feel better. Foxy, feel dree to delete this if you feel warranted. It's turned into a pissing match and I'm getting fed up. I will post my LiPo question in a seperatre thread. Hopefully folks won't have this "I told you so"...or."If you do this your nuts type responses " Just be men (i.e. ACT like men))
