I'm new to all this so please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but my understanding was that to get more power you need to change your motor or gain an extra cell and go up to 8.4V - assuming you are running a 7.2V 6 cell pack at the moment? Larger capacity batteries will just give you longer run times.

IB now do 4200 cells - apart from charge times is there any reason why they would not be suitable for a Mini T if configured correctly?

The 4200s are sub C cells. Much too big and heavy to fit in a MINI T.

so this is the biggest and most powerful you can go right?..(other than lipo's, of course )

http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/mai...rer=3&model=20


should you stick to the stock configuration or can you go to a 7 cell....or what IS the fastest/longest lasting battery im assuming a 7 cell elite 1500, right?

With a 7 7 cell you will need deans or else the stock connectors would melt together.

Intellect 1400 2/3A- These are a great upgrade from the stock batteries and are only about $15 on ebay. With my brushless system, it flips my car over backwards while barely pulling the throttle.

I am not sure if you can, but it would take forever, wouldn't it? Get a $30 charger, and they're done in twenty to thirty minutes.

its for a mini t. heres some links to the products im thinking of buying.
http://www.modelflight.com.au/team_l...mini_t_pro.htm
http://www.modelflight.com.au/team_l...s_mamba_25.htm
or i can buy a complete car and work from there (although it comes with everything you need it doesnt have all the fancy upgraded parts like the mini t pro) http://www.modelflight.com.au/team_l..._mini_baja.htm
can you suggest a battery that would perform well with the brushless. BTW all of this put together is realy expensive soooo i might have to save up first but i still want to know all about it.
Any help is much appreciated.

No, you will not need a different electronics or charger for that battery. But I think you need to check your wallet. If you are willing to spend that much money on that battery, then your wallet is way too fat. Go to cheapbatterypacks.com check out his IB1400s they are a fine battery and will leave a little of that fat in your wallet.
