Default Battery Question

Is it safe to use 30C 5000mah lipos with the earthquake 8e's, my buddy has some that he will sell me super cheap with a decent <u><span style="text-decoration: underline;">lipo</span></u> charger. I believe they are turnigy batteries, and he was talking like $50 for 4 of em and a charger, He just bought some better ones, I guess he didn't like turnigy. He only used them a hand full of times and went out and bought some super fricking expensive ones

man thats a sweet deal!
the packs were like $25 each and then the cost of the charger.
getting it all for $50 is pretty good.
and yes, those packs will work fine in the 8e. same voltage, just more runtime!

When looking for the most runtime out of a battery, you want the highest mAh possable, right ? (sorry for the hijack)
Thanks

That's what Ive been told, the other thing is dnt buy super cheap lipos, ive heard good thing about turnigy/bluesky,
I was worried about using 30c instead of 20c though, Im excited to have 2 extra sets of batteries, that should really increase my run times

also the reason that hes selling them so cheap is because Ireplaced the clutch on his motorcycle
