I'd go with the last one. The b4 and t4 don't need a high C rating.

My 5000mah Zippy's were a tight fit in my b4. Too tall and the carbon strap is hard to fit in. I don't change the batery in my b4 becuase it's a pain, I just levae it in and charge it.

I would actually recommend the smaller 4000mah Turnigy.

Like this:

or this Zippy, these are what I'm running and they work great:

You wont be able to run these batteries all the way to the front, youll have to notch the foams to run them periodcause the terminals come out the front of battery. They make some that come out the top, just got some for a frriend of mine. If your running stock your gonna want a high c rating, mod its not as important.

You can just dremel off the bit of chassis that interferes with the wires. I dremeled down my battery box walls to give my buggy more grip via a flexy chassis anyways.

I recently bought a T4.1 Brushless RTR and I paired it up with a Venom 5000mAh battery with a 50c discharge rate. I figured there would be some problems with the Turnigy packs and how they fit in the chassis, that's why I went with the aforementioned (because the battery connections were on top).

If you dont mind cutting up the little foam block a little. Put the battery in backwards. That way the battery is far forward, and when the foam is cut for the wires, it will fit.

Just a thought.

The Venom packs for me provide more than enough power to send my T4.1 speeding off in any given direction. Since I'll be eventually racing in the Stock class at my LHS, I figured that a good battery like that would be great for what I'm wanting to do. I eventually want to run Modified, but I'll have to get the parts for everything very slowly.

you can cut the foam and put them in the front or back...if you leave 1 piece of foam in front of the cut 1, or, on ebay, they got the 5000 20-30c ones I told u about that have the wires coming out of the top. The ones at hobbyking have been on backorder for over a month, no tellin when theyll gettem in. Cost a littlemore though.....
