RE: batterys for vxl system
dude you have a billion threads on every topic...some even about the same thing. DO SOME FREAKIN RESEARCH....google, the search engine on here, other forums, etc!!!!!!!!
if you want good batteries get some with gp, ib, or ep cells. if you are cheap search for all-batteries.com on goodle and get some 7 or 8 cell tenergy cells

The cheapest you could spend is probably $150 which is for the MaxAmps 3s 5000mAh 20c LiPo. You might be able to get the 4000mAh but the 5000mAh will give you a noticable performance difference and runtime.

RE: batterys for vxl system
I would seriously not reccomend going lipo right off the bat. Try a high quality nimh battery like IB4200/EP4200 first then go from there.

Lipo is a pretty penny. If your going to spend it, make sure you do it right, don't skimp. [sm=greedy.gif]

if you go lipo you have to get a compatible charger and balancer and most chargers are dc requiring a power supply

RE: batterys for vxl system
If I were to go lipo...which I probly am, I would not buy that kit from maxamps. I'de rather get a cell pro 4s charger for $60 something plus shipping, a power supply for around $50, and then a maxamps 5000mah 3s battery

What is so wrong with the Vision Peak Ultra? It is AC/DC, it can charge a 3S lipo, granted at 2.5 amps max, but it only costs $89 and you can get an Astro Blinky balancer for $25.. works just fine for me. 
And you can charge Nimh/Nicads too at up to 4 amps...
