Li-Po or NiMH? I'm confused.

Thanks for the feedback.

Lipomax, just so I'm clear, you think I should go with a Lehner xl1200 combined with something like a BK 30120 to handle the voltage.

I haven't checked out the prices of the 8s setup but motor/esc alone would cost about $570. The benefit being that I probably wouldn't need 2 sets of batteries, not straightaway anyhow.

I'm wondering how this would compare with the 10L/9918 combo with the 2 sets of batts Mike suggests. I'm sure either setup would give me all the power I could ever need, it really comes down to the best speed/duration.
