I'm a newby on here and I've used the search for a while, but I never found what I was looking for. I just got a stock MRC and absolutely love it! I want to get rid of the stock battery and go lipo and I've been looking around for batteries and found these ones:

https://unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDHOBB...idProduct=6786

Has anyone ever gone through this company before? The prices for the batteries are cheap. I also found a few other batteries on that website between 500-1000mah. I don't want a too big of a battery on the front upper link and I'm willing to give up some runtime per battery for that. I know their in Hong Kong, but has anyone used a Zippy or Rhino Lipo battery in anything before? Also, kind of want to keep to 7.4volts and not go to 11.1. Would it make any difference between 15C or 20C discharge? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Everybody I know uses the thunder power 2s 1320. It is perfict for the mini. Maxamps also makes a good on that is 800mah i think and your link doesn't work.

Tenergy 2cell 25c 900mah with 50c burst works great and it gets the wheels turning even with stock motor

A few of the guys in NOSTR have those batts and from what I remember the quality is excellent, and the price is great to!

I just picked up the Losi 600 mah lipo pack for the MRC, and their servo plate as well. The size is great, it's a cube, and smaller than the stock servo.

I've only run one pack through the MRC so far, but it makes a huge difference lowering the COG.

There is no LVC though, so I need to pick one up.

What LVC are you planning on running?
