Best bet is to get familiar with lipo's. Read up: Understanding RC LiPo Batteries

okay, so whats the easiest lipo (name and site) to hook up to a stock wraith, I know it needs to be a 2s, but I wont a long run time and as much power as possible, and do you have to have the balancer and all that stuff I read about?

Yes, you need a lipo charger which comes with the balance adapter. And no, it doesn't need to be 2s. I have a 4s in my wraith. I shopped around at different online stores to find one that had the dimensions to fit in the space I wanted it to be. For long run times, you need to have a high capacity battery. Now as capacity goes up, so does the physical size of the battery. So your best bet is to take measurements of the area where you want to mount it, then start looking for one that will just fit into the space. Here's a pic of a 4s lipo in my wraith:
