The 3S lipo has 3.7 more volts, but you cannot run a 3S lipo with a 7700.

I have not yet heard good things about Venom batteries though. Try the Carbon Edition Orion packs with hard case or some Maxamps packs.

Because the CM36 motors are limited to 65000RPM

7700 x 11.2V = 86240RPM. Way over the design limmits. That is why the 5700 is suposed to be the fastest of the CC motors. 5700 X 11.2 = 63840 RPM.

Personally I favor Hyperion, second choice Max Amps.

B-P-P has an Hyperion 5350 mah 2S for around $93 or a 4250 for about $71.
