I'm thinking about going lipo and geting some maxamp 8000's and/or the trackpowers, but then I saw on their website (trackpower) that they can only do 100 race worthy cycles or 200+ practice/mixed cycles. I don't really want to spend that much money on batteries if their not going to last that long (2 packs for my E-maxx). That would cost more per run than using nitro fuel.
I thought one of the good things about lipo was that they lasted a lot longer than other batteries (1000 plus cycles), but 100 cycles is less than nimh.
Am I missing something?
Does anyone have some old trackpowers (or any lipo)? How do they go after a few hundred cycles?
thanks.
