the losi lipos puff very easily and have very poor reviews and i think they use low quality cells. maxamps overate there cells massively and really aern't worth the huge prices they charge + there cell matching is poor leading to dead cells after very short periods of time.
i would recommend true-rc lipo packs they use good cells and match them very carefully.
zippy/flightmax lipos are what i am about to buy for my buggy as i have only heard good things about them and they are very well priced (you can buy 2-3 packs for the same price as 1 maxamp/losi lipos)
Neu lipos are also highly rated along with rc-monsters own lipos

i haven't got the losi conversion kit but i like the battery/esc mount
