honestly i wouldnt waste your time or money on the 1/16 e revo. i saw one run the other day and it kept getting stuck in the soft dirt because its soo small and light and from the lack of ground clearance. it just seemed like a little kids toy. however it was kinda fast running 2 batteries with the series connector. if you plan on running it on pavement then it might be ok, but pavement pounding is not my cup of tea.......i like to see dirt flying!

Yea I would get a full size erevo or emaxxx if you plan to go throughreally rough terrain.Otherwise, I don't know what lipo batteries are good for the 1/16 revo.

I would ask this question over in the small scale forums. And i agree with these guys. If your going to go electric you can do one of two things, Convert your 3.3 to a brushless system or just buy a full size e revo.

Full size is always better but little revo is one of the best if not the best of its size class, and its speed is awsome for jumps !
It can be set up to run onroad, and really turns some heads at the 1/10th drift track !
Its to nimble for real rough terrain at high speed, thats where big revo comes in.
The 1/16 e-revo brushless with 2x 7.4 LIPO batteries will blow a 1/10th revo away to 50 klm/h then big revo just flies past it !
