Wow, 30-35 amp load.... We would have to run nimhs in 2p to even get close to lipo. Can you imagine the weight...

A123 cells have their benefits, but will have a very hard time matching a good lipo. If you want a low weight/long runtime lipo is the way to go.

In all honesty, A123 have to do fast recharge, if they didn't no one would be interested. The only benefit they have in my eyes is that they are less sesitive to abuse. But a properly made tray can protect a lipo just as well. And lipo packages better for our uses.
