Default Dual FXR Lipo NEWB question

Hi,

I have dual FXRs with 45turn motors on my Bully and I've been out of the game for an year or so and forgot what little knowledge I had about these batteries... I recall a kind member telling me that 2200mah 3cell lipo with a 35C constant amp rating will do the trick but I just relocated to Korea (from HK) and dont seem to be able to find this exact spec...

My question here is... as long as its 3C is it okay if the MaH exceeds 2200? Also, does the 35C constant amp rating matter? Can I exceed the 35C without killing my escs?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Mike

The battery can be as many mah as you would like however 2200 is already double the size most people run. It will hurt your performance because of the weight and placement. It is fine though. Also you can up the c rating to whatever you wont, no harm. Basically as long as you have 11.1(3s) volts and 25+C rating. I would recommend something more like this. http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/pro...Lipo-Pack.aspx

Most of us using the Bully are using 800 to 850 mah 3 cell packs. They provide more than enough power for a 6 to 8 minute comp, are small and light.

The ones I have can be charged at 2C and HK's Nano-Tech can be charged at 5C (so they claim).
