After a seven year break from messing with RC crawlers, my first being the original SCX10, I decided to get back into crawling, as I enjoyed it, and am loosing interest in computer gaming, especially with the GPU prices rising to outrageous levels.
A couple days ago I purchased a SCX10 II, and only need to decide what batteries to get. When I was crawling and trail running with my original SCX10, I was using NIMH batteries. Between then and now I bought an Exo Terra, and used Lipos for it, but gave up on it shortly afterwards, because of how difficult it was to change the batteries, and work on the vehicle, thanks to a few bad design flaws.
I have a little experience with Lipos, and will be using them on the new crawler, but would like to know what you guys like, and recommend for my SCX10 II, which will be set up primarily for trail running, with some crawling. I have the new Hobbywing Quickrun 1080 WP ESC, will order a twenty seven turn Holmes Hobby Torque Master motor, when I get a little more extra cash, and will use the Hitec HS 7955 titanium gear servo, from my Exo Terra.
I want to be smart, and chose packs that will give me good performance/run times, last a while, and will be worth the money, even if I have to pay extra. Because of the potential dangers of Lipos, I don't want to cheep out to much when it comes to safety.
I appreciate, and thank you guys for the helpful feedback.
