@Rich, I like your style! To bad you live on the other side of the world from me. I'd love to sit down and have an adult beverage with you and have a few laughs.

There's nothing wrong with telling it like it is. Sometimes we all (including me) need to hear the truth spoken frankly. I accept and appreciate constructive criticism when given with my own best interests at heart. It would be a better world if more people could speak and hear the truth and not get offended.

@Technopro I wouldn't buy that one on ebay... I have had seriously bad luck with batteries from Chinese ebay retailers... My advice is to get a name brand one (spend the extra$$$) like Turnigy or Traxxas....

If you want a really high aH battery, try a Jazzy wheelchair battery. It is 35 amp Hours.

oops! I did not see that weight was a problem.

I can do lipos. Could someone give me a link to a battery with a balance port preferably with charger? 12v 5a or more A's?
