Those of you that have gone to a lipo, which one are you using?

Personally I would use a LiFe battery instead of a lipo, as they aren't as volatile as a lipo and won't go bad if left fully charged. Remember leaving a lipo fully charged is not good for them.
Yea you need a jst connector to connect to the radio.Interesting, I was looking at these:

Glad I asked cause they're clearly very different.
I definitely don't fully charge them unless I know I'm going out but tbh I never even checked the voltage after a run to see how much 1 session drops the battery. I should probably start charging them to below full every time.Personally I would use a LiFe battery instead of a lipo, as they aren't as volatile as a lipo and won't go bad if left fully charged.

It depends on the fans as LiFe batteries are only 7.2v fully charged. But LiFe batteries have a much longer lifespan than a lipo does, a LIFE battery could last between 5-7 years where as lipos can last 2-3 years.Is LiFe better than lipo as an external power source for fans too?
I've found after 30mins of run time, a small lipo barely loses any charge, probably not even worth charging fully.
Good point . I don't want to wait HOURS either. I assumed the charging time was comparable to charging lipo's.haha I got tired of having to charge 12 AA batteries all the damn time. My fast charger only did 4 at a time and the other charger took HOURS to charge em. Lipo charge so quickly I thought I was being big brain.
If you find one that can charge a lot of them quickly let me know! I have a sony one that charges 4 in about 2 hours or so which is a lot faster than the one I have that can charge 10 iirc that one can go for like 5+ hours before everything charged. Kind of crazy when you can charge a lipo in like 25m lol.Good point . I don't want to wait HOURS either. I assumed the charging time was comparable to charging lipo's.
I'll look into the charging time of rechargeable AA's.
You do know ya can hook 10+ cars up to 1 radiolink.ive got 5 cars on 1 radiohttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089NH3JH3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have 3 rc6gs v2 and 3 of these batteries. Work great and last forever between charges.
Man let me tell you, I have so many rigs it's not even funny.You do know ya can hook 10+ cars up to 1 radiolink.ive got 5 cars on 1 radio

And those are just the ones with B links and or mmx8s/xlx2. I think we're at least close to 20 arrmas now. One of my radiolinks has 10 models and is full, the other one is now at 7 and I got a outcast 8s coming in a few days that will put it at 8 and the wifes has 2 rigs on hers. Oh snap I just figured out how many rigs we have LOL. I was right! it's 20. I think we have every arrma 6s rig that hasn't been discontinued except the infraction. Not even a year in the hobby yet and 20 rigs, freaking nuts! I'm going to have to tell the wifey to hide my cards.
Apparently the new v3 radiolink can hold more than 10 rigs.
Son of a gun, that is the radio that I need. I do wish they would get rid of he collapsible antenna though.Radiolink RC6GS V3 New 7 Channels RC Transmitter and Gyro Receiver R7FG, RSSI/Voltage Telemetry, 2.4Ghz Surface Remote Radio Controller for RC Crawler, Drifting, Bash, Buggy Cars, and Boats https://a.co/d/7RbsvDJ
