Default RE: New 1100 mAh A123 available everywhere and no word here!

I appreciate you guys doing all the research and everything, But! the truth is Im just not that technical as you guys are so Im just going to through this out there and if you can help, Great!

I am currently running a Turnigy 4040kv BL Inrunner with a Castle 36A ESC in my EDF Rafale Foam Jet. I have recently built a 4s1p A123 pack from the VPX packs in Walmart. The original Battery is a 11.1v 1300mah 20C Lipo. but seams a bit under powered so I thought this would give it some life.

Question: What is the total capacity of the Battery. I know the voltage is 13.4V
What Charger would be best to quickly charge this pack and how do I ballance them.

And finnaly....Am I nuts for trying to run this 4s pack with this setup? I mean is it going to melt the motor! The ESC can take 14.2v I believe.

Thanks

Trevor
