yeah, that looks like a good set, 30C should be enough, 2S is good to keep it safe, from what i heard those chargers are good. i bought my charger on thier site and its great.
you will have to make new connectors on the batt and possibly the charger (unless you just wanted to swap only the esc connectors) but thats easy.

that is a good site to buy from too, i got my charger in 4days.

that will get you going, just make sure your esc will shut down or alarm once your lipo gets low (must keep above 6V)

just looked it up, what a nifty esc.... LVD is Limit Volt Detection, once turned on (off at factory) the esc will read how many cells in the lipo, and will allow you to drive untill a set low voltage and shut it down.

I think it makes a really loud chirping sound, or it cuts it off to 50% power. Not sure. Oh and also Hobbyking.com has lots of good lipos and chargers as well.

i HIGHLY recommend staying away from anything chinese, especially during or shortly after a holiday.

hobby partz is about the same cost and your keeping the money in your country.

i orderd a cheep motor from hobby king 3 weeks ago just because it was $10, still no motor, i order from hobby partz, i get it in the retail box within a box in 4 days.

i am aware of their supposed bad battery quality, but i have an old venom 6 cell, and it still works great! i plan on going lipo within the next 6 months anyway
Holy crap a good battery slipped through their inverse QC?




That is a good thing that lipos scare you, that way you will always follow the recommendations and take care of your lipos. I would imagine people that are scared and Leary of lipos probably have never had a problem. Lipos dont start lipo fires people do LOL

Incredible. What has this world come to. lol

I had a 3s 4000mah 20c lipo from them and it died in four months.
lipo scares me enough to steer clear as it is, i would be terrified to try a venom.
