So I went into the hobby shop this weekend to find a newly stacked shelf of Lipos. They are pretty pricey but the manager was saying they work great for planes because of their weight reduction and run time life (up to 40 minutes folks), therefore the same aspects would apply to the automobile aspect. So anyone made the switch thus far and if so how are they performing in the cars. Thanks [8D]

i love lipos for the runtime, punch, and weight reduction. with drift tires, the difference is not as dramatic as it is with grippers. top speeds are comparable but the acceleration is bonkers. im comparing 2s lipos and 6cell nimh.

On or offroad - LiPo's make a world of difference. Love the longer runtimes.

3cell lipo makes my brushless sing...

You can prolly get clost to 1 hr and a half on li-po's. Thats alot of practice.

Not sure what you're using to get that. I do get over 30 minutes with my TT-01 when I use 7.2v 3700mah lipo myself. Usually by then I need a break and there is pleanty of juice left.

eek not off road kk one of the guys at my track had one when he was jumping the ramp when it landed the car caught on fire :[ sucks for him lol all i can say is just be carful :]

I would hate to see anyone's car do that. I use them in my Hyper 7 PBS 1/8 scale brushless conversion.

well if your gonna be doin electrics it should be fine but not nitro lol

I would like to have a Li-Po and a stock motor, LONG runtimes. Just need to decide if I want to drift my Xray.
