Hi Guys,

I'm a Newbie to RC, and starting to get fun. coz reminds me of building a real car,
back in my hometown we have small auto repair shop, reason to get more interested.

Last time i post my Tamiya FJ Cruiser CC01 which i enjoy it.

Now, i realize need some upgrade, which i saw on your video, quite fun, specially those crawlers
and those water proof one..

Then i bought SCX10 chassis from ebay..
This is just rolling chassis, with servo, Traxxas xl5 esc, and traxxas 12T 550 motor

Now i need to use my esc from tamiya, coz i cant run this traxxas esc.

i want to buy Lipo, so atleast i can run my Tamiya Fj cruiser
and scx10 which im planning to get new body soon.

i want to run both, so my son and I can play together

i need some help on Lipo....
please advice a good cheap one 2s lipo

Appreciate your help. i'm really noob into LiPo,
just reading some articles about it.

thanks
Kirby

Thanks..!!

i will update soon as my body comes..

Can i ask:

why if i use traxxas XL5 esc - motor very slow
and if i use my tamiya tble esc - motor is very fast as normal
both using NiMh

should i use LiPo for XL5 ESC?
