So I noticed some of the high-end street RC stuff from Tamiya is designed for the Tamiya LF battery. Looking it up on Tamiya's page there isn't a lot of performance info other than a higher maximum number of cycles and improved safety over standard Lipo I believe its also more compact. If anyone has used these across various RCs, I'd like some feedback on whether or not they are broadly compatible from a sizing perspective and if they are comparable to standard 2s or 3s Lipo in terms of power output and duration of run time. " LF Battery LF2200-6.6V Racing Pack Item No: 55102 This is a high performance Lithium-ion battery pack designed for R/C model use. Making it compatible for quick charging is its featured large-capacity high-power output as well as having superior safety characteristics. Minimal self-discharging and reduced memory effects enable long-lasting battery life, allowing approximately 1000 recharging cycles. The balance connector allows a balanced charging for reconditioning of each individual cell. DEANS connector enables a large amount of current flow whilst ensuring a secure attachment. Also includes a connection adaptor for use with Tamiya speed controllers (ESC)."

Hi all, I'm in need of some advice from those of you who have experience with the DT-03 chassis. Specifically, battery advice and which battery to go with. The electronics I'll be using in this build are relatively simple: I'll be using the stock TBLE-02S ESC that came with the kit, along with a Tamiya TBLM-02S sensored 10.5T brushless motor, and either a RadioLink R7FG or R6F receiver (haven't decided if I want a gyro in this buggy). I've been back and forth between using a NiMh or a LiPo battery for this build. I don't plan to race this buggy at all - it'll just be a fun recreational run-about with maybe an occasional trip to a local RC track, but no competitive use. Most of my experience has been with NiMh batteries, specifically Venom Power brand batteries, but I know LiPo is the way to go for sheer, raw performance, especially for a brushless setup. I'm not married to either NiMh or LiPo though - I'll consider any option. So I turn to those of you who are far more experienced with this: what battery would you recommend for my DT-03 Racing Fighter? Thanks very much in advance. Cheers!
