WoW, thank you Druss. I really appreciate your help and guidance!

I am actually looking at tam orion batteries, as well as MaxAmps.com RTR kit. Also, it looks like my Duratrax ICE charger is good, however I have forgotten how to use it. It's a shme since I used to balanced my NiMH batteries with it and was excellent. But are there better chargers out there? Is there something as simple as this Hyperion LiPo charger/balancer that Maxmps.com offers?

As far as the weights, I did some research on that. It looks like I need to add 6 grams on the side of the LiPo battery to keep both sides even. Maybe a gram more with the heavy Brushless sytems. But who knows. I may test it out on my HPI Pro 4 (sad that this great piece of machinery has been discontinued). I have a SS5800 brushless system on it now. Would a LiPo battery pack work on it? I don't think LiPo batteries were thought of being used when I got it. Most people were running NiMH batteries. Would 7.4v burn out my Novak system?

Also, what online store, preferably not in China, sells Tamiya TRF 416s? Since my hobby store closd down, I really don't have anywhere to turn to. Another hobby store that I can go to is about an hour away from me. :\ I don't want to go out there to only ask questions.

Any info anyone can provide, is greatly appreciated. Druss, thanks again. You've been a ton of help.
