Hey now,
So it is the battery. Cool, that's cheaper than the esc on the small packs. I don't much care for the Grape Stains electrafry stuff, they don't make it and I don't know who repackaged it for them. I think it's better to buy from a more er, reliable, no that's not it, um, known company. ThunderPower, Appogee, even Kokam, although they don't seem to last as well... are I think better choices than going with Tower's lowest bidder.

TF2Psycho, Look into the Hacker B-40 motors or Kontronic fun 480-33 for your truck if you want it to scream, ofcourse glow would be cheaper, a lot cheaper... I used an Aveox 1406-2Y in a Losi buggy for a while years back, used to shut the glow boys down hard!
