I was wondering if this battery would work in my Rustler VXL? http://outragerc.com/home/detail.php...oduct&iPro=222

It would be good for a plane, not a car. That is a PLANE battery. Those batteries have really bad "punch." Also a 2s lipo would b muh more controllable!

There is no difference between the lipos they use for cars and planes besides the hard shells for Roar approval.
Outrage makes great lipos but I caution you to make sure the battery will physically fit before buying it.

Just be careful with your gearing and monitor your temps. I've never gone 3S on any of my land vehicles yet, probably won't for any of my 1/10. I have very little interest in going really fast in a straight line.

Yeah its kinda crazy going 60+mph, especially when the stock radio and servo are very touchy and it doesn't take much to send you flying off the road.

I run a 3s with very similar specs in my rc18b. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, if you only know wide open it can be hard to control but isn't that why the throttle is variable from 0 to full. You soon learn throttle control and they drive just fine. I think you'll be just fine using that in a 1/10 scale, bet it will be tons of fun.
