I aggree with this 100%.

SOOOOOOOOO much more punch from a battery that weighs alot less mah for mah.

This is because even the BEST Nimh battery is VERY limited on maximum discharge. About the best you can hope for is maybe 45 amps. At this rate, the Nimh cells get really hot. Cheaper Nimh cells get so hot, they melt things. LOL

Even a cheap 2S Lipo will outperform the best Nimh packs money can buy.

It's an entirely different chemistry with alot of advantages.

Lipo packs have came down alot in price over the past few years too.

Go Lipo, you'll never go back. But first, research the proper care and charging of them. Always be safe.
