Need to find out if your XL-5 is one of the newer ones with the lipo cutoff. (should say "low voltage detection" on the front panel by the EZ-set button If not, then you'd either need a cutoff (rumor has it the XL-5 can be finicky with the Novak cutoffs), or at least an alarm to prevent discharging too far and damaging your batteries. Then you just find some lipos you like, and that'll fit, and you're all set. |

not sure if it goes without saying or not but you also need a lipo capable charger.

If you want the power of a running 3S (3 cell LiPO) you may want a BEC as well. | |
