I would recommend a 2 cell lipo (7.4v) with a capacity of about 1250mah or 1500mah. Get a short pack (67mm long or so)so that it will easily fit on the axle after you build an axle tray for the servo and battery....or just buy JETBOATs BTA kit and that will give you a place for this type of Lipo. DO NOT DO A 3 CELL on that ESC.

I run the eFlight 2 Cell 1250mah from RCSLOT on my Novak Goat powered scaler.....they work great. You may be able to source these at a local hobby shop as well. You will just need to cut off the stock end and solder on whatever end you use on your ESC. (I recommend using deans)
