|  2s or 3s lipo battery? ok... maybe this should be posted in the newbie section..  anyways, I am trying to finalize my electronic shopping list for two Trail scale trucks.This battery is going to be used inside a Tamiya Hilux standard 540 motor temporarily until the new Trail truck kit from RC4WD is here. Then, the Hilux is going back to shelf. Everything except the motor are going to the new truck (haven't decide on the motor yet). Should I buy a 2s lipo or 3s lipo? sidewinder ESC CC BEC Hitec 5955 x(1) Hitec 645 x(1) for shifting Some LEDs thx |

| Trying not to post new threads, but what does the "s" stand for in 2s and 3s? Does this designate the number of cells? |

| 3s, and good choice on battery. You will want to keep the gearing pretty low and watch the trigger finger with stock motors, they can burst some hefty amps under throttle. What discharge rate did you select, 30C? |

| Is a 2s a good choice for a 55T and Castle Sidewinder w/ BEC and a casual crawler? Not many comps in my immediate area. |

| Just a follow up; if eventually running brushless (i.e. crawlmaster) instead of the 55T, would the 3s be a better choice? |

| 2s would last longer but less power, 3s would have more power but it would not last as long so you have to find out if you want it to last or go fast |
