[meinthe73]

I am looking for a 3s to run my br-xl and tourque master expter 45t, whats the minimum C rating I should look for, i see them ranging from 20c to 50c? The mah rating I am looking at is 5000+ thanks.

Im not sure that in a crawler/scaler application, that you'll notice much difference in the "c" rating...when I was racing I couldn't hardly tell in my packs...and I had some 30c and some 60c packs... and I'm running the same 2s, and 3s packs in my scalers and can't tell any difference in them...I mainly focus on mah to give me run time...

The "C" rating is more important with brushless systems and small (low mah) packs.

Since you're looking at a 5000mah pack, a 20-30C pack will be fine.

If you were looking at a 500mah pack, a 65C+ pack would be recommended.

what kind of run time you wanting? 5000mah on a 35t is gonna be forever long. C rating doesnt matter with crawlers, BUT!!! c rating greatly affects cost..... Buy a 3s lipo that fits your MAH desire and your budget....
