if you dont have great nimh (EP IB etc) then any system WILL not handle it well at all.... i was using cheap batteries 12 nimh and when i switched to a123 all my heat issues just disappeared, and i started having driver related issues... couldnt blame my setup anymore!! so try your nimh and if they dont work try a123 if you dont like lipo in things which will get crashed and bashed...and weight is not really a huge issue.
