Default New to Lipo's...need some advice.

Hey guys,
Just like the title says, I'm considering shifting over to Lipo's and need to know what I will need. I'm looking at the ICE charger, but I'm unclear what else I would be needing. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

If you don't mind spending over 500 dollars for two batteries and a charger go for it lol. Plenty of power but what are you going to be running it in? I have two 2300mah 2s zippys i run my slash with. A 3s just makes it do wheelies and is too fast with a vilenium kit. That much mah will be allot to handle granted you'll have longer run times. Will my charger, two batteries and the harness/board im just over 100 bucks.

I went with a CKRC 3s Lipo, its 1500mA and just under 30 bucks, not bad. As for the charger I went with a Onyx 230. Has all the adjustments I need and 10 settings for the different batteries I have. Wish it came with a double charger like the 240..but ohh well...also get a balancer.

1500mA isn't much but I might get two of them and series them together to double the amps, will have to be careful when I charge them though.
