BL Newcomer Looking for Some Kind Advice

[squeeforever]

The equivilant to 16-18 NiMH would be either 5S or 6S. 6S being 22.2 volts nominal, and 5S being 18.5 volts nominal. You can get a Feigao or Wanderer (same thing) that would be fine, but a Neu 1515 would be the best option, but would require a Quark or Mamba Monster Maxx (should be realeased by the time your ready to get an esc) or even a MGM. The MGM controllers are a little pricey for one that will handle 6S though...
