7-cell vs. 2s lipoly

pedeboi - Lipo is def the way to go but don't stress your budget to much. You may want to take your $175 and first invest in a good lipo capable charger, that will charge your NiMh packs better than your current charger. Then when you get some money saved up again buy a good Lipo. There's no point in buying a cheap charger and Lipo just so you can get it all at once. Your less likely to be happy in the long run. I would highly recomend the hyperion chargers, integrated balancers and very user friendly.

As far as that stupid discharge graph goes I alos beleive it to be a bunch of BS! I think that even with the bad reputation of MaxAmps most can agree that even they outperform NiMh.

WOW this is some great info/discussion on batteries. Nice to see some really good arguements on which way is better. To Lipo or not to Lipo,that is the question. Of course Lipos are better. Myabe the prices will equalize sooner or later. JayJay that graph had me splitting a gut. You always have this subtle way about you when discribing details to people who have a different spin on the subject. It would be very funny to see you and UE Robin get into a discussion of differneces of opinion. You guys are just too much. Some of the cheap Lipos out there are driving the prices down on all the rest, because the majority of people in R/C are kids who just cannot afford the exagerated inflated prices that some are charging like Maxamps. If people stop buying from them maybe they would be forced to lower their prices to. I love the American way of life and the ability to run your business any way you wnat to, but not when they are trying to take advantage of common people.
