I hope the Ni-mh batteries are just as durable as the Ni cads . So far I'm very impressed with battery life.....at my first RC show a couple months ago , I ran on and off for 3 hrs. I have a 3000 ma Nimh Onyx . If I get a thousand cycles out of this battery, I'll be very happy.
Battery technology is so fast moving, I'm sure it won't be long and the latest and greatest will be obsolete soon and we will all need to buy a new batt & charger .
