The lipo cost
1575 and the whole combo(lipo+lipo safe bag+charger) cost me
4500
The vids will take some time because I have to make a separate wiring harness and do some soldering.And the vid will be on my terrace.No big(usable) open places here

LOL
I won't use an adpater.Getting bullets from RCD
@Ajit:I gave up on the LiFe's due to the weight and size.Also,their discharge rating wasn't the best.

ahh ok.
btw be careful with the bullets. they dont have any proper protection from shorting. since they rely on heat shrink to keep the 2 terminals apart, its still risky business with Lipo's

@Rajat:I'll be getting 4mm bullets.
@Ajit:I will use heatshrink.After connection,there is no problem.Still,I'll take great care.
I read this great quote somewhere."Lipos are like guns.They are dangerous in the hands of stupid people".Really true.
But can't wait to get going!
