gz on the lipo dude. how much did the Gens Ace cost??

and now for some vids of the Slash with Lipo 

The lipo cost 1575 and the whole combo(lipo+lipo safe bag+charger) cost me 4500

The vids will take some time because I have to make a separate wiring harness and do some soldering.And the vid will be on my terrace.No big(usable) open places here .

You always have a track

yup

I hear the next race is around the end of this month

Hey you can get the dean to trx connector from RCHobbyAddict.

Lipo looks like a square snake

LOL
I won't use an adpater.Getting bullets from RCD
@Ajit:I gave up on the LiFe's due to the weight and size.Also,their discharge rating wasn't the best.

RCD has 5.5mm bullets? I will need them.

ahh ok.

btw be careful with the bullets. they dont have any proper protection from shorting. since they rely on heat shrink to keep the 2 terminals apart, its still risky business with Lipo's

@Rajat:I'll be getting 4mm bullets.

@Ajit:I will use heatshrink.After connection,there is no problem.Still,I'll take great care.

I read this great quote somewhere."Lipos are like guns.They are dangerous in the hands of stupid people".Really true.

But can't wait to get going!

hehe cool. just take care.

and Lipo's are addictive

Just looking at them makes me feel like I'm high

Oh yeah they are! I Still have never run my LiPo below 3.8v per cell, because the motor/ESC Becomes so damn hot!
They just KEEP on running!

I'm running the stock gearing.No upgrades yet.

The track is WAY too far.
