i run 2S lipo's. but i still also run nimh and even nicd's from yesteryear.

the thing about the older chemistry is dat u can charge them and keep them in the charged state. just peak it before use for 5-10min tops to get max power.

lipo, u cant leave them fully charged or they start puffing up.. so very inconvenient during the weeknights when i just want to motor my rc car around the track a few times..

but they heavy..

funny thing i learned while reviving my old rc cars was that they were designed to run with the older chemistry's so id have to add weights if i was to run lipo's..

I just looked at that site. Choosing the right battery is so hard when you build crap on your own. Weight, discharge rate, voltage n sh!t. My goal I s 20 mins of flight time and be right around 3 lbs. I am still toying with the idea of running two smaller batteries equaling the same or more power and be lighter, thus maximizing flight time.

yah, considering wat motors u are running can also affect everything it's A LOT of stuff to think about.

The Max weight limit or my frame is 5 lbs and I want to put a few accessories on it. Camera, lights, and maybe a gimbal.
