Trev, you're going to love lipo's the power they make is just insane next to the nimh's we used to run.

I've been real happy with the turnigy 5000mah packs I bought and after a few cycles they realy liven up, if your impressed your first run just remember it gets a little better still :-)

Is that on a DC or AC power?

I should take a vid of my sled, but the snow is too deep for it, it just sinks ): It has 2s lipo, sidewinder5700 :D Its power'd via compo power supply, so dc.

Do you have one of those ArtAttack RC sleds? Or is a different type?

Might want to look at making an adapter for your main battery charge leads, you don't want the little gator clips to slip out and create a short. Charger might have built-in protection, but you don't want to rely on that!

One of those new bright ones, the gear box is slowly dying, i have a wheely king tranny all modded ready to go in when ever i get bored enough to do it, haha. Yeah, gator clips are bad, but i got real excited, im doing that tonight actually (:
