Secondly, dont get too caught up on the C rating because for all practical purposes a 70c wont do any more than a 30c in that truck. Assuming we only talking about 5000mah packs. A 3000 60c can supply more current than a 5000 30c, the difference is that the 5000 will run longer.

The XS uses 1/10 scale electronics and isnt a terribly heavy truck so if you choose a 5000 pack then a 30c should save you a few bucks and will be more than able to handle the load of the electronics.

Status: offline 		I dont completely understand the Nano Tech science but, they are great batteries. I own 2 myself, a 5300 60c and a 4000 40c. You can run any C rating you want as long as the battery can support the amp load. Using that 5000/70c as an example; that battery can sustain a rated 350 amp load safely. That XS will never pull that much power. A big 1/8 motor can draw 150a or more,  but 1/10 motors dont often pull more than 60 amps.

Multiply the Mah capacity by the C to find the amp rating of the pack. Realistically a 4500/25c will supply all the juice that motor could ever draw. For more runtime get more Mah. Having a greater C rating doesnt hurt but if it exceeds the limit of the motor and ESC, you wont gain any performance.

So, there is absolutely nothing wromg with the 5000/70C Nano Tech for your truck. Its not going to give any performance benefit vs. a lower C that can still supply enough current for the motor.
