Default Lipo Batteries

Where is everyone getting their batteries? I am in the market for some 2s lipo's around or under the 250mAh range.

2s is gonna be fast, I think the 1s gives good power, the right amount of wheel speed... ya, my run times are VERY long... but a good safety window w/o low voltage cut off... and I only paid like $6 for all 4 of mine I think.

I have a 1s and it is good for really slow, but not fast enough for me. Too bad we can't have like a 1 1/2s cause that would be perfect

The 2s works fine... I can go as slow as I want w/no problem what-so-ever & has plenty of speed.

try a 2cell and a gear reduced motor im either going that route or 1 cell and brushless i havent decided yet but both options should get you in the same ballpark

I bought a couple 180mah 2S LiPos from HobbyKing a while back for about $5 total. They definitely quickened it up a bit, but I never got to see what the run time is since the ESC burnt up and the crawler became a dust magnet.

$40 lol.. I got the parts from a mini rally that would make it move it again, and my daughter would dig having a micro crawler to go with my mini..

I'm gonna hold onto it for now, guys. I'll let y'all know if I change my mind, though. One of these days I'll have some time to tear the ESC apart and fix whatever fried on the board. The receiver portion of it still works, so that narrows down the problem.
