I've seen a couple with the deans connectors which are 3600mah?

The cost of a couple of nimh packs would be the same as a lipo (you only need one to go racing) and a capable charger. A sppedie with Lipo cut off is just a safety thing it wont let the lipo get below 6 volts. You wont need that feature if you only run your lipo for 6-7 mins and keep the voltage well above 6.

DONT waste your money on nimh packs get 1 lipo and a cheap 2S balance charger best investment ever.
