It says 6s 8.4 volts on the box
Very nice haul!
Not sure about why it says 6s on the box . The stock VXL is a 7s (or 7 cell) 8.4v NiMh battery. A 6s Lipo is a 22.2volt battery ?! To go Lipo, you would likely want a 2s 7.4v battery: https://traxxas.com/products/parts/batteries/powercellbatteries/lipo/2854X-10000mah-74v-2S-25C unless it's running a hotter motor and ESC that can handle that kind of voltage.
I'm sure you can find something cheaper, but I wanted to give you a reference point.
Thanks heaps for all the links.I did some digging for you for a 3s battery. Found this guy: https://www.amazon.com/Zeee-8000mAh...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PKCPA3KX77SJ1E388K4J
I also found a cheaper 2s option:

If you want to start off on a cheap, but very useable charger, the Imax b6 had been around forever, can be had cheap and is very reliable: http://www.davesmotors.com/Imax-RC-B6AC-Pro-Balance-Charger-with-AC-DC-Adapter-.html It won't charge more than 2 3s packs at once, but it will work with minimal fuss and has all the needed functions for your LiPo needs.
I use the Venom Pro+ charger for all my Lipos and NiMhs which is basically the same charger in a different shell. But Venom also makes an updated version if you don't mind a little extra outlay: https://www.venompower.com/collecti...pro-charger-2-lipo-and-nimh-battery-charger-1
i think I may have found what I need amongst the boxes.I did some digging for you for a 3s battery. Found this guy: https://www.amazon.com/Zeee-8000mAh...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PKCPA3KX77SJ1E388K4J

I'll try to find a manual for it and work out how to use it.
