Help me Spend my Christmas Money

[thndrckn]

I have some Money set aside for R/c and I am looking for a complete system to put in to my g2r, I am looking for everything, esc, motor, bats, and anything else that is needed.. My budget is about $500 I hope this is doable.

Any help is greatly appreciated

LiPo or NiMh?

Feigao 8XL (C version or Wanderer) $90
Mamba Max $140 or Warrior 9920 $150
That leaves about $265 for batteries (and a charger?)
If you want Lipo and need a charger, the Super Brain 989 is $140
Which leaves $125 for the batteries, and that isn't enough for a proper LiPo setup

Yeah, if you don't need a charger it's a different bag.

I currently have a triton and I am to upgrade to the triton 2. After the 1st of the year..

lipo of nimh? next Q..

[thndrckn]

I would like Lipo but then again Im not planning on doing much racing so... Im not sure.. everyone seems to be going lipo.

[thndrckn]

is the Triton 2 a good charger for lipos? or should I look at something else?

[jhautz]

triton 2 works with lipo. If you can get it for an upgrade deal it should be fine.

Also, if you're going Lipo, you will need a balancer and possibly a lvc

WEll if you don't have to get a charger. You have enough for the lipo.

you could also try those a123 cells. its 200 bucks for a charger and 2 batts... im not sure how these would work but it charges them in 15 min and they have like a 7-10 min runtime. pretty cool to me.

Anyone have a link to the a123 cells im really interested in them.
