Default lipo question


I bought a flux and it will arrive Tuesday of next week; I have (4) 7.4 2s 20c batteries (3200 mah-500mah) from another brushless electric car that I own.
My question is the "c" rating okay to use with this truck or is it better to purchase some batteries with a higher "c" rating ?

I wouldn't say 20C at 3200mAh is ideal for a Savage Flux but it will work.

It will work for 5 seconds and then puff. At least 25C and 5000mah for something so large.

I have been running 20c 5000mah lipos without any puffing issues. But HPI recommends at least a "c" rating of 25 or higher.
