Default Mini-T ESC & LiPo

I have the Mamba with the 8000kv motor. I have one LiPo battery "Dynamite 1900mah 7.4v" I currently have a Quark 33amp ESC on order. When it comes I will switch and test it.

What other LiPo batteries are everyone using in their Mini-T? Links would be appreciated. Would like to find a cheaper LiPo cost battery that will fit into my MiniT than the Dynamite.

Thanks -
SS

Yeah - the Dynamite pack I have is made by Thunder Power. Trying to find something a bit cheaper and that will fit. Would like to try a 11v pack with the Quark ESC when it comes.

I pulled my MiniT & Micro RS4 out of moth balls and decided to run them once again.

I mod'd my Mini Baja with Mamba 25 and 8000 motor. but with that speed motor I also ugraded the drive train with a DD Slipper, Ball Diff, and MIP CVD's.

for LiPo's I'm using CSRC 7.4v 1250mAh, can't beat em for the price.
