anyone used LIFEPO's in their stock Summit??

[potatoperogy]

looking into new batteries, wondering if they're worth the money.
if i go lipo, i'll have to buy a new charger anyway, but a lifepo charger will cost even more...but the lifepo packs last longer
so i guess i'd like to know about performance as the maxamp lifepos are only 6.6 volts each? thanx

also wondering if anyone knows, what ******* lifepo's are good for the summit and do they require low voltage cutoffs?

I've heard of Revo and Summit guys running LiFe packs. With LiFe packs you don't need a LVC off and they have a high current output aswell as more cycle abillities. The problem with LiFe packs is they are only 3.3v a cell where LiPos are 3.7v a cell. You get more power and longer runtimes with LiPos.

most good lipo chargers can charge Life packs as well. And they are still pretty inexpensive as well

yes i have seen these integy lifepo's they are a good deal.
and the 30C rating is not too much for a stock summit?

you can never have too much C rating. Too little is when the problems start. Ask the MMM brushless guys
