    haha, well funny thing was i within the past week got evicted out of my r/c room :(, had to move all my stuff to my bedroom and get some new shielfs. Told my gf "look i not have more room for r/c's", she just laughed, then my parents got me the summit and qr-1, also said something didnt get here on time so may be another r/c.

    I got my gf her own ps3 for Christmas, so now between the 2 tvs in the house they both have ps3 and xboxs 360s..

    ok got a question for you guys.

    i get to choose my gift this year... told my family i want Lipo's for my RC.

    i was running Venom 5000nimh's 7.2V.

    i have a traxxas E-revo. im running the stock elec on it. my motors are new as i shorted the old ones out. both are 550 titans.

    i wanna go brushless in the future, but wanna get new batterys first.

    what is the populare route to go with lipos? also can any one recomend a good wall charger. i have this 12V one that i have to hook up to a bloody car battery to charge my stuff
