I wouldn't spend the extra money on it. If you want performance, get one of these... http://www.promatchracing.com/proddetail.php?prod=7470

I would go with Energ 4600s matched packs. I have about 5 Promatch Energ 4600 platinum matched that I ran for 1 big race, probably about 6 runs on all of them, my brushed/nimh setup was pulling brushless/lipo setups on the straight. Anyway, come to think of them I dont use them anymore and shoot me a PM and we can work out a deal. From a poster's perspective and not a seller's perspective, you really wont notice a big difference between the normal matched and platinum matched packs, espeically with the VXL system. But if you want to save a few bucks (should be 40 a pack or so for mine) PM me.

I have three Trinity reference 6 cell stick packs. Mine are only 3600s, but they're very good. They were only $25 a pop too, from amainhobbies.com. Doing the math, I got more capacity for the dollar that way, and I don't mind changing it out every 20 minutes.
$60 is getting into LiPo territory IMO.

7 cells=8.4 volts. Those batteries are the BEST cells on the market, only the orion SHO 5300s can compare ($85 and only comes with 6 loose cells unsoldered). I am prety sure that the rustler VXL doesnt accept the side bars, because where the battery cover is is where one end bar is, so order without endbars. $56 a pack..... The batteries I am selling come with end bars.

edit: Yes that 7 cell hump pack will fit.
I get around 25 minutes of run time out of mine.

Its not so much about the capacity with the EnerGs as it is the INSANE amount of power that they put out. Got 3 extra mph from my Rustler with the VXL setup with one of those 6 cell packs compared to a Duratrax 3600 pack that I had been using before. Compared the same two packs in my Slash, the difference is night and day. If I had a decent video camera I'd make a vid and show you. They will run nearly as long as any 5000 mah pack and put out more power all the while.
