Lipo!
LiFe never really took off from what I've seen.

I used to buy expensive lipo's but after puffing several of them, I started buying cheap: Value Hobby R/C Hobby Store (Addison, Illinois): 3S LiPO - 11.1V - Batteries - Power

This webpage helped me understand LiPo's when I got back into the hobby....

Understanding RC LiPo Batteries

Change to LiPo and don't look back!

ok so from what i have been told life batters dont have the C ratting to run rc cars. they are more for controllers and low power demand items. and the are lower volts per cell. lipos have come down so much that you can buy them for nothing off ebay. they can almost be throw away really i have 2 3s 4000mah that i bought for 20 and they have been running for 2 years with no problem.
