His argument is fair enough, they aren't flashy LiPos, but then again people have had quite a lot of success with those. We use them in Tormenta 2, we bought 3 second hand 5s 5Ah versions of those on Ebay for 12 quid each, expecting them to be fairly wasted, and they're perfect. Treat them right and they should last. Even if they're not up to HW standards, Matt, they'll do very nicely for pretty much any feather that isn't top-end ballistic.
Also you'll benefit a lot from getting a LiPo charger anyway, with the cost to performance ratio of LiPos exceeding the other technologies so hugely it's crazy not to get up to speed. You'd be running them fairly hard but I'd have thought two of those LiPos in parallel should get a heavy running nicely.
As has been said, you'll struggle to find the right NiCds now as they're no longer sold new.
