I'm electronically stupid...

I use these for making NiMH packs,http://www.modelelectronicscorp.com/...t.html#sptkits,solderless power tubes.
Makes it very easy to build very low resistance packs and also when you want to reconfigure packs,make saddle packs etc.I also only use GP2200s for NiMH cells,they're 4/5 subCs,shorter and lighter,just lets you fit more voltage for the same space and weight compared to subCs(3700s etc).

I think you'll find it really easy once you get started with this stuff,once you get a BL setup up and running (which will be easy if you follow peoples advice and get a set up that is known to work for what you want) then there's much less of the pulling your hair out moments that come with nitro RC.Also,besides the power plant, electric vehicles are much easier to maintain in general since they're not constantly vibrating themselves to bits and covering themselves in sticky fuel.Much better playtime:downtime ratio.Also it's the only choice for real horsepower freaks.

You don't need that much technical/electrical knowledge to start with either really,you can just ask lots of questions and people will keep you right.

asking questions is what im good at... i already am pretty sure that i will be using an MGM 80 and a basic 4200 motor, just from asking questions.... now i just gotta save the money and buy the stuff....

when i finish my brushless set-up, my nitro is just going back in the closet isn't it........? LOL

Clostet or Ebay - LOL - You will love this electric stuff - No fumes, no noise unless you hit something or someone at speed lol. And you learn as you go. And the best part - if you have questions - there are quite a bit of people here that will steer you in the direction that you need to go. Have fun....

Go eBay; it's simply amazing how much some people will pay for stuff. I just sold my nitro Revo last week for $478 (after shipping)! Of course, it had a few hop-ups, but it was a little dirty and scratched in places. I was figuring on about $300 (and would've been happy) considering the condition, but imagine my suprise when the auction ended!

yeah, i may end up doing that, we'll see.... i may keep it around for my son so he can start out with nitro then move to electric...... haha
