need help shoping - 05-27-2006, 04:50 PM

i do not know much about the lipo packs so i'm hoping someone could direct me to a good deal. i will also need a proper charger. for the servos i plan on getting it was recomended to use a 2000 lipo pack in my buggy.(8th scale gas). i do not know if that is correct or not but it is a good place to begin.
i have also herd about resisters and built in ones,don't know if this is true or not.the easyer to install the better.
thankyou for the help in advance!!!

If you're gonna buy a li-poly pack, don't forget to pick up a regulator.

So far I have been pretty happy with Apogee batteries!
I have ruined a few packs, but all my fault. I just picked up a little 'alarm' thingy that should solve my draining problems. Their stuff isn't the cheapest, but the performance I get has been great. If you don't have a charger already, they have a very simple little one that I have been using that also works well.
This is them:

Another nice thing, is they have lots of 'how tos' and info about lipo on their site.
Hope that helps..
Brian.
