Default LiPo usage in a Super

Im building a 17" pimp cane right now. Im running (2) 55 turn Integy motors with 9T pinons and Novak Superduty ESC. I was thinking of running (2) Lithium Polymer 910mAh 7.4V 15C Battery Pack. Is this gonna work, work good, or is it going to be a waste of money?

Should work well, but I am a little confused. Are you saying you're going to run two packs on one esc at once? If so, make sure to check the rating of your esc. Good thing to check out the ratings on your esc in any case, you'll want to be certain you've got low voltage cutoff for lipos.

If everything checks out, that battery should work fine, although you might want to consider one with a higher mAh rating for longer runtimes.

Yea,I would run one battery and at a higher voltage that the esc can handle.

One battery is best, but you will need a lot more amperage on a super. The rear motor will be stalling about 20-25 amps, so get something that can take it. Good old 2100 15C cells would work on your 65t motors.
