Thats lipo and charger for under $100 bucks!The batterys give me 35+min of hard runtime and they are in a hardcase that fits the battery tray with out any mods.I have 4 of these.. The charger has a built in balancer. The only thing you will need extra on lipo is a LVC.

Also I would buy a RPM bumper to protect the front of the truck.That is the first thing I would buy.
