Li-Poly have the "best" energy storage to weight ratio. "Best" that my little money can buy. There are probably better Lithium batteries around but lipoly is most commonly available in its battery family :D
NRG Lipoly 3S1P 2200mAh - constant 25C and burst 50C. Max charge rate of 5C. B6AC all-in-one charger max 6 lipoly and 5A. No time to test it yet, still awaiting for some parts in Pololu robotics shipment :D
ESC Testing ... izzit ZERO DELAY ? ... yes it is in some ways...
Arduino Testing with Timer2 interrupt with Servo.h function 50.0Hz - Arduino (0.5 to 2.5ms)(0-180) 51.0Hz - 27MHz transmitter (1ms to 2ms)(Forward to Reverse)
