Question What to do...

This week I will be ordering stuff of ebay and I'm just wondering what should I get.. A lithium kit for my lancer or gpm front lock plate, rear skid plate and gpm steering protector plate and maybe a carbon fiber drive shaft... So far on my lancer I have stage 2 motor, large turbo capacitor, front and rear gpm knuckles and some rs stuff. The gpm parts and drive shaft including shipping are about 10$ CAN. cheaper than the lithium kit. So it doesnt really make too much of a diff but since I do not have a credit card my bro orders the stuff for me and he said that this is the last time hes ordering anything else off ebay(even though hes only done it once..) so I have to decide carefully...
Gpm and CF driveshaft or lithium kit? Let me know soon. And if you can let me know how hard it is to use the lithium kit and how hard it is to install that would be a great help.
Thanks for the help,
bc_edition

I say lithium its the best single one you can get.... But on the other hand with the liths ull be going alot faster and breaking things even easier i say liths though.

kk, thanks... Still not really sure but I'm kinda leaning towards the liths But yeah, could you tell me what parts would most likely to break with the liths,... maybe I might be able to convince my brother to order them for me at a later time if I do get the lithium kit.. I'm guessing the dogbones right? Anyways thanks for the help,

Ps: how easy are the liths to use?? It says something not to let them drop below 3 volts...just wondering how easy are they to maintain?

I just got my brother to order the liths from JDR off of ebay.. Hopefully they won't take too long to come in the mail I'm all hyped up now, cant wait till they come!! And can anyone answer my question of how fast, roughly, would an evo with stage 2 motor and lithiums go? MPH or KM/H..
Thanks,
bc_edition

Rob at Atomic-Frauds claims it goes 31, from my trial it went about 25 on a Gevo conversion and faster on the f-150 with the 12 tooth, it depends on what gearing you are using....

yea it can but the ions are very rare for that to happen to. just take care of them an you will have no problems, an dont let them drop below 3volts each

kk, thanks. I'm not sure, it just says on the ebay thing that there lithiums, there four small ones designed for the evo..Anyways, on xmodworld it said something about a pcb thing to check the voltage.. Does anyone know where to get this..? Home depot? I dunno, I'm hoping that they'll come in the mail early next week and I'll just read the stuff that comes with it to be sure.. And for the charger that comes with lithiums does it stop charging once there fully charged, or will it keep on charging them..( on Xworld it said that if their over charged they will explode Anyways if someone could fill me in on this info it wold be greatly appreciated, i dont really feel like commin home to a burnt down house Thanks,

THAT you gotta be careful about. i say go and buy yourself a smart charger

http://cgi.ebay.com/Lithium-Ion-Char...QQcmdZViewItem

i have this one coming in the mail right now but you should keep your eye on the first couple days of using the batteries and feel if it gets REALLY hot. if its warm than w.e not to bad but if its like hot than yea you need to pay attention to it
