Anyway, seems I'll need to rebuild the rear pretty soon.
Anyone having the same issue?

Hey everyone,
Well after 3+ years of being out of the hobby, I just purchased an SCTE a few days ago from Hot Rod Hobbies. I also purchased a Mamba Max Pro SC combo from Ultimate Hobbies. I'm fairly new to 1/10th scale brushless so I'm wondering if you guys can help me out. I was wondering what cheap lipo batteries are you guys running? I looked on www.hobbypartz.com and saw their Gen Ace lipo batteries. I know I should be running at least a 3S, but should I go for 30C, 40C, 55C? What about the mah, 5000mah? 11.8V or 14.8V?
What about a 2S to use as a backup? What rating features?
Thanks all!

I would recommend the 2S for two reasons, 3S is really fast and sometimes uncontrollable, also, if you decide to race, most tracks only allow 2S. You will be fast on a 2S lipo. Keep in mind that the faster you go the more parts you will break when you crash.
I would also recommend you go with 40 C rating for a 2S. GEN ACE is a very good Lipos, it come hardcased and the price is great. Just my .02. Good Luck and welcome back!!!

What's all this talk about protecting the bottom of your chassis. Are these rigs being used to race or sit on a shelf?? I don't get it. WTF!!!! Don't get me wrong all your ideas are great and would be even better if it was a "showroom car" but it's a racing rig, it needs to get a few scratches on it.
Common fellas, it can't stay pretty for ever!! I'm all for a great looking lid and the rig being all cleaned up but really?????........protecting the bottom from scratches??? Just my .02.

I see people with those front and rear guards on too.. they always cause more trouble than good out racing.. it changes how the chassis rubs through bumps, how it lands and if you happen to have carpet or any material on jumps etc where you race they will eventially get caught up and cause a blip or a wreck. Even banged up a chassis will last you years.. LOL then just buy a replacement off ebay or sell the truck as a roller and grab a new one

If you already have the 1313 I would just use it. The 1015 is only 12% more powerful. I doubt it will make or break the way the truck drives. You can always upgrade later if it's not enough, right?

Thanks for the reply back! Maybe I should rethink my strategy and go with 2 2S lipos and 1 3S lipo as a backup. Here's the 2S I'm looking at: http://www.hobbypartz.com/98p-50c-50...case-2222.html
I assume the 50C rating gives me a little bit longer run times? I feel like such a newb lol.
