Theyre a new cell chemistry. You can also get life in 1200 (or 1100, I can't remember). I think we will see more sizes in the future.

I have tried a few combinations. Geared for roughly the same speed as nitros (in a buggy) I get about 7-8min on 4s1p, and about 15min on 3s2p. I only got like 6min on 5s1p, but I was way overgeared plus using a too high kv motor, so most of the energy would've gone in heat from the motor lol. 3s2p seems good for racing on anything but a big open track. I will probably stick to 4s2p though, and should get close to 20min runs.

In a truggy I think 4s2p would be the bare minimum, and would be tempted to run at least 7s1p (max for a 6s esc, like mmm) or maybe 5 or 6s2p, depending on the tracks you race on. If its just for bashing I'd go life for sure, but for racing I'd be tempted to use lipo anyway.
