Should I just get like two or three keep them charged so when I'm racing I can just swap them out if need be

 

[Mike Hughes]

No need to swap them during a race. I charge once before the race. Usually only using max 300 or so. That kind of draw is big sometimes because i forget to turn boat off between heats. Usually it is in the 200 range. Always good to have extra.

Do I have to use lipos?

Use LIFE packs
1100-1500 is enough for racing. I mostly use 1100 on bigger boats.

I’ve used 700 Life packs for my small boats and 900 for the big boats. Now I am thinking I need more, but it’s worked for years…

I use 800-1000 mAh LiFe in my nitro boats and 1500 mAh LiFe in my gas boats. Never had any problems.

I use fantom Marine series 900 life packs, usually after a day of racing I recharge it and it only takes about 150 milliamps to recharge it so I know 900 would be enough to go a full weekend of racing
