Status: offline 		OK, Ive heard ENOUGH warnings about the explosive qualities of Lithium Polys to steer my attention elsewhere, as I
ll be using the T w/my 3yo a lot!!

SO.....between Lithium ION & NiMH, what is the BEST battery one can get & fit inside the Mini-T??? I guess I want 7.2V and the most amount of "mah" you can get & still easily get it inside the stock batt. compartment.

Now that polys have been eliiminated from contention, are LIon's really any better than NiMH for this usage?

Thanks!!

Dean

Status: offline 		Where did you get the info on lipoly batts being explosive? I was intrested myself in them and i hadnt heard that. hmm. the best batts right now for the mini T are Kan 1050 mah. No one yet has gotten sub C's in a mini T. Kevin from Blind batts makes a great 6cell kan pack for about 19 bucks. Thats what i run and its a great pack.

LiPolys can burst and/or ignite if the wires get crossed/shorted, even for an instant! If you crash, you're advised to put your pack in a safe area for 15 minutes before you can assume it's safe.

Check out what this respeceted vendor makes you read & "sign off on" before they let you place an order!!

I think I'll stick with my NiMH's, thank you. Oh yeah, I didn't know we could run 7.2 volts thru the mini T?

Status: offline 		MiniRCfan, go here http://www.edogfight.com/Catalog_page/BatteriesPacks.htm get the 6 cell RS4 packs 3 packs for $30.00. They don't come with connectors but their easy to find and put on. Or go to Tower hobbies and find a pack. They have different ones to choose from. If you don't have a charger you'll need one. I use the duratrax pirahna digital peak charger with no problems.
