Look at www.CheapBatteryPacks.com and see what they have.
Knowing the Mah & "C" rating you need would help as well.

I looked at cheapbatterypacks.com and thats where I found the elite 850. I am running a tekin 21.5 at 4s with MM Pro so I'm guessing (from what I have read on here) that I need at least 25 C. As far as the mah goes I dont care I just want the smallest available because Im thinking of moving my servo back to the center since I'm rubbing my servo way befor full lock and I want max steering. I dont have much room for batteries but I love the wheelspeed from the 4s. I can find very small 3s batteries at maxamps.com but not 4. Those 3S are 430 mah I think.

Just Email Max Amp's and thay will custom make you some 4s 430s. Thay made me 8 of them that i comp with in 2.2 class. Great punch and probley the smallest 4s pack you will find. Im super happy with them.

Just remember that it will not supply that much power, only 3.6 amps constant if my math is right I think the smallest and best performing batteries you will find are either the elite 850mah from chose or the sky lipo 800mah which are both the sane size. I am running the sky lipos in my xr and they are working great, I was able to put back in 924mah after running it

I am a Maxamps team driver and have not tried the combo 86 described, but I do know of several TOP USRCCA drivers are using this set up. If he says it works ....you can trust it

If ThunderPower is a vendor here, fine. Otherwise buy the same packs (same price) from CheapBatteryPacks.com...... http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/lip...99mah/65C.aspx
