Default Battery packs used by GST owners

Hi,

have had a search and can't find much info on what other GST owners are using to power their receivers and radios. It's time I went for packs for both but I'm not at all sure about what voltage receiver and radio pack to opt for. I'm thinking a flat 7.2V receiver pack tied to the front shock is a good idea to bring out the best in these aftermarket servos....or is 6V ample? I need something for the radio too but don't see much that would suit the 11V needed to power the radio. I'm not keen on LiPo as I've heard they are a fire hazard basically if charged in the house but they seem to be the only type which produces 11V. Am I wrong to be put off LiPo, is it the way to go, lighter/stronger sounds good to me. Are all connectors from all packs compatible with the receiver connector? Also what chargers are you guys using? I'm keen to buy the best now and don't mind paying top whack as I believe it future proofs me from having to upgrade again. Cheers.
