RE: cheap chinese batteries
i've got over 20 turnigy batts and have never had one show up puff, or puff during use, infact every turnigy i own still works great after many uses. the one thing i do to all my batteries regardless of brand is always charge @ 1c no matter if it says it can be charged higher, and i never run them down to low voltage cut off. treat a battery like that and they will last and last. i've had name brands die on me but never a turnigy. even the tiny 1s 160mah batt's last a long time.

RE: LiPo Questions
what mah is the 20c batt? if it's 5k or above he should be fine. your batt stops @ 4800 because it's not 100% empty, if it was it would be dead. low votage cutoff leaves some juice in there to protect the pack.

RE: Durability Bashing vs Racing
the only "fragile" offroaders are the 4wd buggies. i don't know why the manufacturers can't make them a little tougher. the b44.1 can't take a hit like it's 2wd brothers the b4 and t4. for the most part race bred vehicles are much toughter then the entry level bashers.

RE: VW BUGS
ugh, both of those make me want to puke. the square headlight look comes from something called the "mullholand look", there were body kits you could buy and they used vega headlight buckets. a very bad fad to say the least. there was a 4 door beetle built during the war and briefly after called the kommanderwagen or something, it was a rag top with canvas doors, used as miltary police cars IIRC. KDF/volkswagen made some really weird/neat stuff, google kettenkrad.
