Just wondering if Integy batteries are any good?? I'm looking at a getting a set of Intellect 5000mah NIMH's packs, can anyone tell me how they compare to Duratrax DTX NIMH's cells, better or worse? Thanks.

Intellect are one of the best cells out there...:::::::::::::::. It's NEVER fast enough! .::::::::::::::: -
Cool, good to know! I was just looking at the Integy web site and they say not to use more than a 0.5a charge rate?? I usually charge my DTX's (3800's and 4600's) at around 3.0-3.4a charge rate, why so low for the Intellects??Comment

Yeah i hear about it all the time but i have a few reasons why i don't go lipo. First of all, whenever i look into lipo's i have no clue what i'm looking at, 2c, 4s ect. Second, my charger, Superbrain 977, will charge Lipo's but i've read on these forums that it's not a very good lipo charger, plus it does not balance them. So i'd basically have to get another charger with a balancing feature from what i've read. Also, i actually perfer the extra weight of the NiMh's becuase i don't run my (2) boats on a small calm pond, i run on a 22 mile long lake that when it does get calm enough to run an RC boat, there is still a bit of a rolling affect on the water, makes keepin my SV27 on it's top side challenging but fun if i'm carefull with the throttle (think real 1:1 scale offshore racing). Plus i'm not sure if i want the extra safety concerns with Lipo's, i know what i'm doin with NiMh's, Lipo's on the other hand, not at all. I think about biting the bullet and goin Lipo all the time but for what i'm doin with my boats it's not really nescisary. Maybe someday....Comment
