Default what lipo batteries do you use?

what batteries do you use and provide mah rating, C, and weight, and maybe runtimes in your touring car.

I was looking at orions 5000mah 20c lipo, but it doesn't provide the weight in grams.

I have a SPC lipo battery 8000mah 12c, 385g.

its a bit too heavy and tall due to the higher mah.

So yeah, let me know. I need to shop for another lipo battery.

i myself use the Orion Platinum 5000 battery, its a really good battery. As far as the weight i don't really know I've never bothered to weigh it.

Just weighed my trakpower 4900mah 20C battery and it's 268 grams. I'm sure the orion would be in the same range.

nice. those trackpower 4900 25c are pretty powerful. Yeah, I think i'll go with the orion 5000 or maybe try out rc-monsters 5200 2s 28c.

did you buy this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXVHA2&P=ML

or this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...3&I=LXVSS5&P=K

because the description doesn't say much about the wiring harness.


did yours come complete with bullet connecters, wire, and plug? I don't care what type of plug, all i care about is the wiring and bullet connecters. Did it come with it?
