Bigjimknickers Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 I've google searched it, I've yet to read any real horror stories about lipos usage with the stock servos Awesome I'll get that ordered, hemistorm reckons that stock pack will only last an hour! Plus, the one at oxshott was sitting there from a flat rx pack, so it'll need sorting ASAP. I did find a life pack the same dimensions?

Bigjimknickers Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 EPA? Lol. Anyways, what's the advantages of lipo over life? Is life a bit more forgiving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Yea it's just the voltage really, also Life batteries don't need looking after like lipos, ie no need to storage charge them, Life will definitely be easier on the stock servos,. But as and when they do fail I'll be upgrading to decent HV servos, so made sense to go lipo straight away for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QRC Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Here's my db, Got Outerwears for air filter and pull start, switchblade kill switch and shock socks. Picked up Gens Ace lipo for the rx from Giant Shark, tad cheaper than the Killer RC option. Just waiting for the Freeprawn site to be up from maint time and next order of goodies to be placed.
