Default Newbie needs help

hello im about to buy a stamped 4x4 vxl from amazon and i would like a 3 s lipo battery because i heard thats the best you can get without having to change anything else on the truck i need a battery and a charger that can charge it fast so not a trickle charger. if anyone could help me thatd be great oh and preferably parts on amazon because thats were im getting them from since i dont have an rc store close. also maybe some recommended spare parts for it would be nice because if something breaks i really don't want to have to wait a week or two to use it again

Hmmm.... a little late in coming perhaps. Sorry. Have you bought the truck yet?

Spare parts: I'd get some front and rear suspension arms, and maybe some steering knuckles. BUT, if yer gonna buy spare parts, buy RPM replacement parts. Better plastic than stock. Set of shock shafts perhaps? Just in case any get bent/scratched.

Looks like Amazon has a majority of Venom Lipo packs. Those'll do. Any 3S pack with at least 5000mah and a 30C rating. Get one with a Traxxas connector already installed, if you can. Or solder one on yerself. Amazon has a Imax B6 charger clone for $24. If specs are true, should be a fine charger, but you'll also need to match your battery connectors. I have this charger that I got from HobbyPartz.com. Good charger for $56. Their Gens Ace lipos are a good value.
