I also noticed from your post in another thread that you have an XR10. You may not have alot of room for a high mah battery. 1100-1600 should give 30min ish..

| 4 channels is what you want, just make sure you can mix the 2 throttle channels (the GT3B can....as will a 4PL & others)

not really it affects how many amps the pack can put out continously and in bursts. a good rule of thumb is smaller mAH higher c rating

The battery power available under larger loads is a combination of mah & "C" rating. A low mah pack like a MRC 1.9 rig may run a 350mah 60C pack, while a trail rig may run a 3000mah 25C pack and do fine. Get the idea? | |
