Status: offline 		All right I am buying a Rustler VXL but what battery and what charger?
Can I go Lipo for under 75 bucks w/charger?
Should I just go NIMH?
Looking for the most bang for the buck and am buying from Tower Hobby so if they have the charger and battery even better!!

Status: offline 		You're gonna be hard pressed to find a lipo and compatible charger of any quality for under $75, In fact none of the lipo compatible chargers I would recommend are under $75 themselves.

If you must stay under $75, NiMh is your best bet.

Status: offline 		Check out the Duratrax Piranha charger, its under $40 generally and can run off of AC or DC. I'm not too up to speed with pricing on NiMh cells/packs, but someone will answer shortly I'm sure.

Status: offline 		I can do the Duratrax Charger, what about batteries. There are so many kinds is it as simple as a 6 or 7 cell at 7.v with mah ratings (more is better kind of like a bigger gas tank) or is there more to it?

Status: offline 		I bought the Rustler VXL, the Duratrax charger and 2 batteries (3300 7 v venoms) and the adapter for Traxxas plugs. The shop sold em too me at non-tax internet price for a whopping $400 total. Pretty good for cash and carry I think.
I was having a great time with the first run until the wheel fell off. Traxxas is sending me a new nut/bearing assembly. They said something about new plastic not settled or expanding or something like that. The LHS said get some thread lock which i did.
