I have been running a Team Associated B4 with a 7 cell NiMH battery pack. The B4 has a battery tray that only fits a 6 cell NiMH pack, so I have it jammed in there. Needless to say my B4 is pretty heavy and I never realized the impact it had until I went racing with my buddy today and he had a B4 with a Lipo battery. After borrowing his battery it changed the whole RC experience with the B4. Clearing jumps easier, and with less weight the crashes were less damage..........soooooooo I really do want to convert to Lipos and join many of you out there.

I need advice on brands (good ones and ones to stay away from), sizes (what is 3C vs. 2C mean?), plus I need a new charger since my current one won't charge Lipos so I need charger advice as well. Also, how many batteries do I need? I am running a Tekin RS system with a 13.5 turn redline motor. I am looking forward to everyone's suggestions.......thanks.
