Thank you Foxy, that helps me so much. One question, you said I should order a pair of those batteries. Is that so I could have a backup or would I run both together?

Im pretty much ready to order and should have a car ordered by end of this week. Im just going to read up a little more before I make my final decision, but Im pretty positive Im going to be going with the OFNA Ultra LX2E. I just hope that I can find it in stock somewhere because it seems like no one has it in stock.

Thanks again for all the info. From all of you. I hope that I enjoy RC Cars for a long time to come. Ive really been wanting a new hobby and this seems like its right up my ally. I will probably be back to ask more questions once I do get a car and maybe some before I buy, but right now I feel like I have all the info I need. At least I think I do.
I think that 2 batteries is minimum for a satisfying hour of non stop running (you'll get about a half hour per battery). If you are the type to only run for a half hour at a time, then you should only need one. To be honest, its up to you, but I always take two packs out with me for whatever car I'm running (or more).
