Default Battery Question.

So I am brand new to the life of RC Crawlers, I have some Nitro Traxxas cars so the RC style is not new to me completely. In that regards, I'm getting ready to buy a Gmade Komodo, but of course the battery is sold separately. Well my question is what is the biggest or best battery that I can buy for it to get the most run time?

Thank you in advanced for any help!

Lipos are by far the way to go. If runtime is what you are after go with a 2s. You should be able to fit something in the 4000mah range in there. Check the size, the higher the mah the more runtime you will get. Dont go under 25-30C. With a 4000mah you should get about 1.5 hrs depending on driving style and terrain

The battery tray is adjustable, that would work fine. 4000 mah can last for a long time...I've done entire trail runs of 2+ hours on that.

That should work just fine. I run the cheap ones like sky lipo and turnigy but if you dont have a charger that will work. Check to see if it also charges 3s in case you decide you want more power/wheel speed in the future.
