RE: Need help with brand new Volcano brushless
The more mah and c the more it costs. Cause the mah determins run times, and c determins how much output the battery has. I dont know if the esc can handle 11.1 lipo, but it will take 7.4. Hobbycity.com has lipos super cheap, a turnigy hardcase 5000mah 20c for 20 bucks. And a zippy 4000 mah 25c for 25. And they got cheap chargers. But you dont need to go lipo. You can run nimh, maybe its just a bad battery.
