  10. Battery Performance 7.4v LiPo v. 9.6v GP

  13. Lipo pack fit

    After try a six cell nimh AA and a two cell lipo, there is a conclusion: lipo sure. Well, now, where is the place to fit the lipo pack into the car?, not enought space in the original batt place. Second, the lipo weight much less than AA, so the load balance of the car is lost. What do you...
