Since you don't run all tanks together, for the sake of saving money, why not buying less batteries than tanks? H/L stock batteries are prone to spoiled if you don't use them for long time.

I actually rotate upgraded batteries I have 15 tanks and currently rotate 10 packs plus I have several 3000mah spares that I keep on hand in my shop so you are on the same page. I don't currently have any stock Heng Long batteries in service. My lipo packs are by far the best runners for my upgraded electronics and large speakers.
Tanks alot.... :wave:

SteelBird you are on the right track with the cost of the batteries it would benefit someone to keep fewer on hand. I happen to be a bit more of a spender and sadly like having too much stuff.
