LSD (Low Self Discharge) Cells in Mini-Z?

Used to race MR-03 open class on track, found Peak 900 AAA cells to be stupid fast compared to the many other off the shelf consumer and RC enthusiast oriented cells.

Am now putting together a little MA-020VE Pro SP to bash around at home and on the go.

The idea of using high quality LSD cells (such as eneloop original 2100x) sounds very good for my application. That way I can just leave my sets charged and play with my Mini-Z whenever, without having to top up or maintain the cells in between large amounts of time.

But, I'd like to double duty this chassis on occasion, how well do LSD batteries perform on track? It'd be nice to not have to have extra sets just for racing, and then have to maintain them, etc.

I'm guessing LSD batteries don't have anywhere near the punch as a low internal resistance high discharge racing cells? Hope I'm wrong though...

I'm sure many have run Sanyo/Panasonic eneloops, please comment!
