|  Which lipo to buy?
Hey all just got a new micro and I see that a lipo is the way to go for more power and run time. I tried searching for this type of question but came up empty. I'm not looking to do many mods other than this and a body and the freebie mods people have done. I just figure longer run time sounds fun. There's lots of packs and chargers and combos for sale on eBay. So I ask you which is the best to get and why? I want to keep the cost low but if one is $20 more than another but is a million times worth getting I'm in. Thanks for the help

I went with 2 Losi 2c 7.4v LiPos and the standard Losi wall charger. Sure, it was expensive, but plug and play for my micro desert truck and crawler. I love it, 45 minutes of run time between the two packs. Horizon Hobbies is where I got 1 batt and the charger.

I have the losi 7.4 180 mah has a lot more power but the run time is only 10 to 15 mins. I thought it would have been longer than the stock battery but it's not. I use my lipo battery charger I didn't get the wall plug one and it still takes 50 minutes to charge at .2 amps. I may go to .4 amps (2c) and try that. I will be looking into a bigger mah battery soon.
