The Higher Mah the longer run time you have. For a 2.2 1500Mah is enough.

I ran a Tazer for a while, but could not put up with the glitching and reverse delay. I know this doesn't help you, but heads up when you start experiencing this.

Go hear and "Click" on the Axial link. http://www.maxamps.com/categories.php?cat=13 You should also see this mentioned in the Owners Manual for the new RTR Axial kit.

It's not hard, and I think if you get it from cheapbatterypacks.com they can solder them on there for you for a little extra coin.

If you go to the link I showed you you can order your packs with whatever main plug you need and what ever balance tap you need we install them for you no need to solder anything. We also carry the full line of Hyperion Chargers look at the Hyperion EOS0606i AC/DC With the Balancer built into it.

I'm not sure which main connector will be on the RTR But a good guess would be the Tamiya style. I would replace it with a better quality Deans Ultra and order your packs with them on it. The Problem with the Tamiya plug is they aren't very efficient the deans are a zero loss connector and will provide better power transfer from the pack to the esc.

We also sell the connectors so you can order one to change out the tamiya one on the esc.

If you are new to LiPo, I would make the investment into an ESC with voltage cutoff. It can get messy if you drop the voltage too much.

Also remember that you are going to have to invest in a LiPo charger also.

Yes that's right if you go Li-Po you'll need an LVD or LVC like these: http://www.maxamps.com/products.php?cat=19

The charger I mentioned already is a great unit.
