I used 2S2P A123's in my Revo prior to going Lipo. In the same truck, the performance of the A123's was good - not as good as Lipo, but still a signifcant improvment over Nimh. Just off the top of my head, I would get 15-20 minutes of run time, compared to 20-30 on my lipos. And they charge so fast - 20 minutes or so.....I'd be just rotating packs off my charger and running them. Disadvantage is size - I tried setting them up as 3S2P but they were absolutely huge.
