Li-Po set ups
i know why Li-Po set ups are better than Ni-MH and Ni-CD set ups but why the different volt levels? what would a good starting voltage/mah be?

RE: Li-Po set ups
The volts are different because the volts per cell are different. For example: a lipo cell is 3.7v, a lion cell is 3.6v, a ni cell is 1.2v, an alkaline is 1.5v, ect.
A good starting voltage to reaplce a 6 cell would be 7..4 volts (2 cell) and a good starting capacity would be as high as you can get, but get at least 4000 mah.

RE: Li-Po set ups
you also need to take into account C ratings thats more important than both
a 4k batt with an 8c rating is only capable of 32A and this simply wont be enough youll have wasted money and ruined a pack
for running brushed buggies you need at least 60-75A constant and 100A+burst to maintain a cool long lasting pack
might also have a look into A123 cells and the new limn cells the apogee's
