is this lipo good enougth for the flux? or i should get something with 30c or 35c discharge. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

personally I'd go 30C
did you look at hobbyking.com they have VERY reasonable prices on batteries
I've ran 2 2s 5200 mah 30C's in my BL converted savage (gearing is the same as the flux in mine) and they didn't even get over ambient temps outside
only thing is you will need to solder your own connector on (its actually a turn off for some people)

not to mention shipping to the USA is spendy and takes forever to get here from what i have heard. so unless your in no hurry to get your batteries, then i would try and get your batteries in the US.

$20 or so for 3day for 2 batteries from HK
so if you buy 2 2S's for $20ish each or 2 3S for $25-30 each from HK along with the 3 day shipping for around $20 you are still saving cash seeing from the US you will probably be paying $50-70 a pop (+ shipping)
My 1st lipo order I did was 2 2s 5200mah 30C hard casrd lipos, a charger, and some other stuff I paid $120 shipped. The other day (was arguing this actually) I looked up 5000 mah 25C lipos from an american company are $55 EACH shipped (so $110 total)

Only batteries that take forever to get here are the ones that are back ordered, and even then it takes around 2 weeks tops (if you don't want to wait don't order back ordered)

Now if your ordering 1 battery yes than the american company is probably cheaper (unless your going for high MAH ratings) if you want it immediately. If your ordering a few and need chargers and stuff HK is way cheaper

I am using two Venom 3s 5000mah 11.1v lipos, they also fit perfectly in the battery trays on the Flux without having to modify them.
