i don't know what the price of the a123 batts are but at the RC convention in Chicago they were selling 2 batteries and there charger(which by the way you just stick it on and leave it no setting or monitoring nothing and when the light flashes it done and you ready to go) i don't know about me but a good lipo costs 180 for one and 2 is 360 and you buy a 140 ice charger and then you buy a 100 ofna power supply and you are easily up to 600 bucks just so you can save some weight and get a small amount more of power. Now the second option might be worth it if someone has a charger that does charge lipos safely and Farly fast or they can get a heck of a sale on the lipos so they wont cost so much. But IMO for a bashing needs for 160 or 200bucks you get a more tolerable battery, very easy to charge (no programing) charger, a 15 minute charge time, the ability to charge it an unlimited time each day, and the cheapness, and all you give up is weight(which if you bashing is not to important) and voltage. So if you are bashing especially think about getting these batteries IMO. But if your racing the other batteries might have what your looking for but the A123 might also work because of the price. Sorry for the huge statement
