RE: battery upgrade
I know you can get IB cells in 4600mah form. Not sure if you can get 5000mah yet, but it seems like someone on here said you could. If you are using NiMh batts then IB's (Intellects) are the only way to go!

RE: battery upgrade
I don't know if IB has a website; you'll have to check it out. I do know that both Traxxas and Dynamite sell batteries that are manufactured with top quality IB cells. You can find them both at www.towerhobbies.com. They are a fair price, last forever, and don't lose performance at all if they're properly taken care of. I've run mine many, many times and have lost no performance. I would guess they have over 100 runs on them and still work like new. I've heard the www.cheapbatterypacks.com EP (Elite) cells are also of very high quality, but I have no experience with them and can't say for sure. Good luck!

RE: battery upgrade
IB cells have very good power but I seen one blow up at my track. A couple people were talking to me and they say that these IB cells have great power, but out of nowhere they will explode. I dont think EP is Elite cells, I have a EP4200 and it looks different than the Elite cells.
The Energ 4600 is about the best battery you can get. Racers have tested and they really olike the energ battery. The best nimh battery is the Orion 5300 SHO cells. $85 for 6 loose cells, plus $20 for all the battery bars, wire, etc.
