Would this work?
I was wondering if this battery would work in my Rustler VXL? http://outragerc.com/home/detail.php...oduct&iPro=222

It would be good for a plane, not a car. That is a PLANE battery. Those batteries have really bad "punch." Also a 2s lipo would b muh more controllable!

There is no difference between the lipos they use for cars and planes besides the hard shells for Roar approval.
Outrage makes great lipos but I caution you to make sure the battery will physically fit before buying it.

Yeah the hobby shop that I am buying it at said I could see if the battery fits in the rustler they have there before I buy it.

Just be careful with your gearing and monitor your temps. I've never gone 3S on any of my land vehicles yet, probably won't for any of my 1/10. I have very little interest in going really fast in a straight line.

Yeah its kinda crazy going 60+mph, especially when the stock radio and servo are very touchy and it doesn't take much to send you flying off the road.

I run a 3s with very similar specs in my rc18b. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, if you only know wide open it can be hard to control but isn't that why the throttle is variable from 0 to full. You soon learn throttle control and they drive just fine. I think you'll be just fine using that in a 1/10 scale, bet it will be tons of fun.
