I also found this but it has lower amp ratings for continious- http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-4000-148-Pack.htm
I was told that for my project I should get a lipo that has 100a cont. minimum.

RE: Lipo for my E-Warhead
the flightpowers are really good, but dont have the greatest runtime.
but im telling you go for true rc 6400s and a 5s format. 4s isnt enough for a 14lb truck.

That's going to depend alot on the motor.
Takedown,
These have been getting some great feedback, and the price point is unbeatable for a good quality pack....

Looks like the 30/60c 4s1p 4100 would be in your budget @ $183, and with a constant discharge of 123 amps it should handle whatever you throw at it.
There's also the 25/50c 4s1p 4300 for $168, constant discharge of 107 amps.
Aside from those, I'd look to maxamps or flightpower. I've been hearing a few bad experiences from maxamps lately, although personally I havn't had a single problem from mine. I've never heard a single bad thing on the neu or flighpower packs.

The Nue and Flightpower packs are great. Poly RC and Enerland are great too. I personally have not had any trouble with MaxAmps, but some of my co-hobbyists have had an assortment of failures.

cough"5s"cough
just the better way to go. It will pay out in the end with more performance, cooler runing, and more runtime.

RE: Lipo for my E-Warhead
who said anything about a guide?
hmmm 21V is definatly less than 20V in my book.
The MM is a 35V monster. JK I wish it was because Im scared to put 5s though it too, eventhough I have heard a couple of times it will be fine. Just dont want to spen $105 to get another MM if I screw it up.(I cant send mine in becuase the case has holes in it.)

RE: Lipo for my E-Warhead
Well I have to say you guys talked me into getting a 5s.
I will be getting the Flight Power 5s 3200mah 30c-60c lipo- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRWB8&P=7
The only reason I chose to stick with Flightpower is because you can get it from tower and shipping will be much faster.
I know I wont get the greatest of runtimes but IMO its a great deal that I just cant pass on.

RE: Lipo for my E-Warhead
Ya as soon as I saw this deal my jaw practically dropped. Ive been working my butt off trying to find a decent paying part time job so that we can get the projects I have scheduled get done and quickly.
