which 3300's?
Ok ok ok, I KNOW this has probably been posted at least 5 million times, but I dont feel like sifting through 20 pages of posts to find it. I need new batteries for my e-maxx, and want to get some 3300's. Is that a good idea? I mean, it will be ok to run 3300's in it right? I have been looking through tower hobbies for some, and have come across a few that look good. I dont see many 3300's specifically for the e-maxx, would I be better off getting 2 seperate batteries instead of the ones that come 2 in a pack?

RE: which 3300's?
It is actually recommending you use gp3300's. YOu should look at www.maxamps.com or www.promatchracing.com or www.ballisticbatteries.com to get GREAT BATTERIES ATE GREAT PRICES that will fit into the stock emaxx chassis. Just remember, that these batteries have some series power. Respect that power, and you shouldnt be breaking too many parts on your emaxx 
and oh yeah, only buy sanyo and GP (gold peak) brand batteries. the rest are junk. If its cheap, well, its cheap. IN RC YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! just FYI.

RE: which 3300's?
ok....... not sure if to many people used these here or not but where i race everyone told me to use spc 3300's i purchased a used one for 35 bux and it was great....... search for them and try to find one with high voltage to get really good power the one i bought was one of the less voltage bats but still ran 5 mins in racing stock without any power loss... they dont have the punch of gp but they hold charge for long long long time. My sanyo 2400's didnt stand a chance against thesen but then again they were only 2400's.
