Thanks for the info MacII,

I've been waiting to get Kokam Lipo's for a looooong time...

I've been keeping an eye on FMA's site for prices on the skyvolt packs. I went there yesterday and saw that they have dropped thier prices around 15-20% on most of thier new stuff like the skyvolts and scorpians etc.

So, I went a little crazy and spent $500 on a 6s charger, 5s skyvolt pack, both the charge protection and discharge protection modules, the DPM Led/speaker and the charger extension. Now I remember I needed to get the Impads for my pack and a power supply...

The reason I didn't get the scorpians is that they only come in 1p2s packs. I did not want to settle for sets of 2s so I went with the skyvolts. The cells are the same so they should perform just as well.

I will have to start another thread when I have data on my setup and performance.

Due to the lower internal resistance of the Lipo packs, they should get better runtimes then a comparable mah nimh pack.

I run against the nitro's as well and have to last through a 12-15 min A main. My GP3300's could easily last through a 15 minute main so I'm certain the Kokams can handle it.

Thanks again for the info.
