Thanks a bunch guys!

Yeah it is a blast to drive, so far the most fun I have had with an RCV. Between the Slash, comp rig, scaler & now the racer, the racer is the most fun.

It has no body roll which was a concern because of the shock placement as well as torque twist is minimal when crawling but the 3 wheel donuts are fun.

I am taking baby steps into the world of lipo as I have heard/read bad things about the longevity of the 2/3A cells, I just got 2 8 cell packs today from TCS so we will see how they hold up.

I am looking for a newbie basics on lipo if anyone has a link. I have some ideas on what I want to do but am not sure on running & combining 2 2 cell lipos. Lets say run 2 20c 2 cell 1000mah packs in parallel so that I would have 7.4v at 2000mah or would I have double the amperage & the same run time?

If I am going to go lipo the whole point for me is size, I can run 2 of these 1000mah packs within the dimensions of 60x30x30mm combined which is a very little package. The other reasoning is I can get these packs for about $10 so I could afford to have a dozen or so & just change them out.

Anyway I will keep searching for a solution and thank you for your input on my projects. The rc thing is fun but the camaraderie of the people here make is great.
