Default Li-Ion Power

Do Li-Ions always have to be charged I heard somthing like that And do you have to upgrade your fets for them? Has anyone used the XMOD Lithium Quick Kit from AtomicMods.com

Yes, lithium ion batteries are rechargable. THis means you have to charge them. a li-ion battery upgrade should not require a FET upgrade. A FET upgrade is required when using certain motors.

My opinion on the quick kit from A.M. is don't bother. Get the pro kit or similar. That way, you won't have the added weight of battery holders.

AtomicMods SS 130 "Super Stock" would this be a good motor with the li-Ions?

I'd look around for other comparable motors and, well, uhhhhh, compare them. I'd go with another company's lithium kit though, because Atomic Mods is severely overpriced IMO.

Yeah, you have to drill, but you need a precision drill set like the one sold in RS.

where the stock battery wires are they are slimer.. and can get the no dril board cause the ends on the no drill board will fit like the stock slim wires. and u ddrill the board when have just the raw 18g cause it wont fit because it is thicker so u drill a hole
