|  what lipo should i get
I'll be running a Losi MRC Pro with a CC Sidewinder esc, 10a CC Bec, 1/10 digital servo, and 17t Contraband motor. Right now I have a Gens Ace 1300 mah For the Air Soft its about 3" long and 2" wide. Not sure if it'll work to good its a 20C also High Discharge what it says on it. Its new never used. If wont work then, WHat kind should I get that doesn't cost me a FORTUNE because I've dumped plenty in for now and haven't even used it yet. I already have a Thunder AC6 Charger also. |

20c is a little low, I would recommend something in the 30-35c rating. It will depend on what you are planning on doing, are you going to comp it or just bash around? If you want the best performance I would go to a smaller battery, something in the 500-800mah range should be good. Shop for RC Hobby Parts and Upgrades - Digital Servos, Brushless Motors, ESC, LiPo Batteries/Chargers for RC Helicopters, RC Planes, RC Cars, Robots is a good source for cheap lipos.

We run 2S 375mah(?) 65C packs from CheapBatteryPacks, they are ~$20 each and very small. You could go a little bigger, like a 500mah. Since the rig doesn't weigh much, you get a bit of runtime out of a pack. When your mah is small, you really want to up the "C". |

You can also look on hobby king. They got seriously cheap packs, tons of us run them and they are a great value. Plan on spending about $5 for a 600mah pack from them, shipping is expensive since they are in China but they do have some stuff in their USA warehouse (higher prices).

Cool, I'll check them out. I'm going to use this one I bought earlier for a couple weeks heres the link. Reason I bought it was it looked small enough for the MRC. Thunder Power 350mAh 20C/40C 7A/14A 3.7v LiPO FREE SHIP | eBay Look at the Pic of it compared next to a Quarter. |

That thunder power you linked to is a 1 cell 3.7v battery, you aren't get much performance out of it. For the MRC you are going to want at least a 2S battery.
