Lipo vs. Life(A123)

Thanks...

I would only be using for bashing right now.

Could you clear one thing up for me? What would be the difference between the 6s2P and the 6s1P. What does the 'P' mean?

P refers to cell arrangement. A 2s2p pack has 2 pair of 2 cells. Both pair are wired in series, to add the voltage, then the pair are wired in parallel to double the capaicity. So a 2s2p a123 pack would be 6.6v and 4600mah, 4 cells total. A 6s2p pack would be very large and heavy, twice the weight of a 6s1p pack, as it has 12 cells total. Hope that makes sense...

THis might help you on the pack set up (it can also be found in the sticky thread "Speed Calculator") http://www.scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/_lipo.html
