Rgordon's Project Magnus On Hold
I have decided to hold up on Project Magnus I have been working on this build for several years now and it looks like it...
I use a 2.5A motor controller. No fancy ESCs in there. Looking at my research I believe LiPos will probably be the best, but I need one that fits the limited space I have, cause once that cover goes on there's hardly any room left.
This is what I use to power the EZ-B in my rover. I also use the same size lipo to power the motor and steering for the rover. Seems to work well for both.
It is about 3.8 X 6.4 X 1.59 cm
This one may be too big. It is a hard case Lipo that has a lot more capacity.
Dimensions about 13.3 X 4.1 X 2 cm.
If you can help me find the charger for cheap the 1600MAH's will be the batteries! The hard case is too big.
This is what I have and it works great, but at $90 may not be what you consider cheap.

Here is a versatile charger for $45. I don’t know much about them. You can often get discounts from Hobby king if you put the item in your cart and wait a minute or two. This is where I buy my turnigy batteries which have worked very well.

You can get a clone (fake) of the same unit for less. I have just read, though, that quality may not be as good as the genuine one.
Here’s a clone for less than $22 shipped. You would need a 11-18 volt wall wart).

A dual power clone (no need for wall wart) for $32 shipped.

For Lipo batteries, search the Hobby King site. they have lots of choices and maybe you can find the perfect size. The 1600 mAH worked for me size wise. I think you will be looking for a 2S (7.4 volt). Also it is bit easier if they are in the US Warehouse.
