Kpowell911 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 TBH brushless really needs Lipo. You might as well go Lipo they are cheap enough now. Brushless and Lipo compliment each other so well. A Decent nimh is going to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) even buying from the UK: http://www.modelspor...on&ItemID=32526 (personally id get this charger anyway, IMAX ones are cheaper from ebay, but this is proven to be great!) UK Battery, Out of stock and jus tbe away you can get the same battery for alot less from Honk Kong https://www.falconsr...d&productId=639 The same battery here is avaliable for £14ish http://hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10098 Ive ran them and they are awesome The Imax chargers are avaliable from ebay, you bid like £3, and pay £25 postage so you get the charger for £28. someithing like that lol That leaves you change to solder a new battery connector on.
