For my T i use maxamps lipoly's with homemade taps and a polyquest balancer. (the maxamps tabs are 2 wires for 3 cells, this is not the way imo, i used 4 wires for the balancing, just a principle...) i would not use lipoly without balancer, but perhaps i'm just paranoid.. I thought Mike charged his FMA/kokam3200's
thousands of times without a balancer..


The balancer is capable of dividing the power of the charge input, meaning it can flatten a max. difference af about .1-.2 volts of the cells.

Am imdividual cell discharge monitor would be a nice feature as well.. though in my opinion the charging ballancing is adequate enough allready... Because, normally the difference will get bigger and bigger every time you charge/discharge the packs. Using a balanced charging, makes the cells allmost equall after every charge...

Balancing is good, safe and with a proper charger and some extra care, like a metal charge case, lipoly is a nice way to get your truck light and nimble..

If you want to go to 6S on the 9920, i would recommend a 8XL or 9XL though.. This was your first brushless right? 16 cells is a blast allready! (5S)
