One of my mates use to be into this quite a lot.

I'll sms and see if he's willing to part with anything.

Martys is pretty bloody good IMO

Got another couple of batteries thanks to Speedy Now just need some more cool shiny parts... Oh and some wheels!

Well the Tourer is now Drift Spec with body and wheel change.
Losi 8.5 turn with LRP Stock spec boosted speedy with 7.4v 60c Lipo power.
Plus tightened ball diffs and Firm springs

Can we use LiPo in our Tamiya cars?

Depends on whether the speed controller has a lipo cutoff function.
Hobbywing systems do you just have to enable it with the program card but if its a genuine (futaba) system then no as if you overdischarge the pack it will puff and can combust if you try to recharge it.
Lipo`s Li-ion and Li-Fe packs need to be cut off when each cell drops to 2.8 volts under load.
I usually set mine to 3 volts in racing conditions to preserve my expensive packs.
If you are running deans plugs you can try one of my stick packs,you`ll be shocked at the difference it makes!!

My Tamiya has low voltage cutoff - its already helped me work out my first charger was a dud and not charging my battery.
