Mr.kenchan, regarding your question about lipo battery....

the best brand on the market is ORCA, however, it is better to first understand the purpose, if it is for leisure, then you will like to go for capacity than discharge current (the "C" #)

if you are using more racing/ competition, then you go for the discharge current# than the capacity.

nowadays, a regular pack, is usually 7.4v 30c 5000mah, for racing, we usually use 7.4v 80c and 7400 mah.

thanks, mr. alcheng, and thanks to the team for posting my question to mr.alcheng's thread!

this is just for leisure, so the 7.4v 30c 5000mah should do the trick for me.
i read most can only 75-100 cycles per life. is that correct?

that's very short lifecycle compared to nicd's where i've cyclc'ed them literally hundreds of times already.

i wonder if ORCA has a longer lifespan..

you should be able to do 100+ cycle on the pack, depends on how do you cycle the pack, since the a regular motor doesn't give too much load to the ESC and battery pack, thus its lifespan should be pretty long...

regarding comparing to nicd, the main difference is the capacity, battery memory and ease of maintenance, if you take those facts into consideration, you will find the lipo battery is a much better battery...
