Anyone running NiMH cells over LiPo?

NiMh for safety, cost, and because I have them lying around as I still bash my T4.

Exactly my issue I have (6) 6-cell GP3300 packs and (2) 8-Cell Gp3300's currently. I want to go Li-Po and will eventually....just hard to make that big of an investment right now. Too many other things come first!

(I keep trying to pursuade my wife the RC should be priority #1, but to no avail LOL! :019: )

I got 3S Lipos in MiniQuake and I love the power over NiMh
But IB4200 Team cells are more than enough in Maxx right now. Will get lipos once my NiMh will die but still have 10 8cell packs (got IB from on road racers for like 30% of original price and they had just 7 cycles with 5.5A charge on them) I WANT A SPONSOR TOO :)

I tend to use cheapish Nihm due to the cost factors, which is stupid really since I spend so much money building a truck, but wont fork out for good batteries. Then again, I can get about 10 cheap 6cell packs for the cost of a good Lipo, so that gets me the long afternoon of bashing I want.... All depends on your budget & intended uses I guess.
