Hey. I am running a 1/10 buggy and truggy and i wanted to start using LiPo batteries. Cost at this point isnt really an issue so all thoughts/ideas are welcome. I am thinking about using the Team Orion 4800mAh platinum LiPo battery. I am currently using the DuraTrax Intellipeak Ice charger. I want to get some more info on the LiPo batteries before I buy them. I hear that to charge a LiPo i will need a balancer. I need to know what type of balancer, how often to use it, what it is used for, the charging rate to charge LiPos at and everything else i will need to know. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
