Default Which cells to use (8 cell)

I was planning on putting together an 8 cell pack to use in my TLT, and can't decide which cells to use. cheapbatterypacks.com has a ton of choices, but I really don't know which are appropriate for RC, and they don't seem so cheap for unmatched cells. I'm guessing the matching isn't really a big deal for a crawler, but should I use A, 2/3 A, or 2/3 sub C? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The IB 1200s or 1400s 2/3 A cell work well on a 2.2!

2/3A would be a good fit for a TLT. I currently run a 7-cell setup of the IB1400's and they have plenty of power and runtime is 30-45 minutes(+/-).
And matching isn't a big deal when it comes to crawler batteries.

go to www.cheapbatterypacks.com then "loose cells'' and go with 1100mah-1400mah. They are smaller so they fit in alot more spaces then normal stick packs!!
