geez you went crazy without and research mang.... balancer balances all the cells in the battery pack. helps it last longer. and help prevents....."issues"


but you really need a speed control that has voltage cut off for lipos. also you dont really need to call HPI. just look up the speed controler you have. usually they have all the specs on what it is and what it can do. but if you want a cheap brushless system. try and find a vxl for sale. they go for less than 100 now for motor and speed controler. and are still very powerful for a brushless. much more than any brushed motor. its like a 12t outlaw motor.
