Do the connectors on LiPos fit with what I currently have? Every picture I look at looks different and I don't see how they will be able to work together.
Last question (for now). Do I need a 2S, 3S, 4S, or what? It seems like 2S is standard but 3S might be faster, as long as it fits with my set up?
Thanks again!!

Glad to help dude... so, OK...
- You cannot run a BL motor with anything but a BL esc hence the word "combo"...
- BL motors and BL esc's are interchangeable so you can use different manufacturers for each part... HOWEVER... try to stick with same make if poss... it's easier...!
- lipo for 1/10th scale (i.e.your durga) is usually 7.4volts so that is 2 lipo cells joined together in the same case...(3.7v each..) if you are gonna join a BRCA affiliated club that is the only voltage lipo they will let you use...
- If you are just "bashing" i.e. on the street or a car park you can use any voltage lipo but this will be determined by the working voltage of the esc, the physical size of the motor and the battery holder size in the chassis...
- lipo cells come with or without plugs attatched, it is up to you which plug you solder on... I use "Deans" type plugs but anything is an improvement over the Tamiya type plastic plug!!
- There are many websites to drool over so just do some surfin'... modelsport uk, timetunnel models, tower hobbies to name but a few...
- Have a trip to your local model shoop and be honest with the guys who work there... if you don't know anything tell 'em that... BUT come back here and discuss before you buy owt!!!
