I'm going to assume your just bashing? Either way take a look at the Hobbyking.com batteries. I have had these batteries for a while now and have had no problems. I'm running 5000mah 4 cell 14.8 volt batteries and love em'. Plenty of power and very affordable.

For bashing and club level racing it is hard to go wrong with the Turnigy batteries from Hobbyking. I've got a few that I picked up in a lot sale from their website and have had no issues with them. They have some really thick (8awg) wire, so it was a bit of a hassle to get heat shrink that was large enough to go over it, but that wasn't too bad. Performance is decent - not the best, but not bad, either. In my SC10 with a 2S 5000mah pack I get about 45 minutes of run time (on a track) with a 17.5T brushless motor (stock SC10 electronics). Depending on what you do, you may get more or less run time.


BTW, not to be a jerk, but there is a search function at the top right of the page. I would hazard to guess that about 80% of new threads would not be created if more people used search.

The Search is a great feature, but if no one posted new questions (even on old topics) people would complain about the lack of new postings or the lack of traffic. Plus new stuff does come out frequently. I found rcsquid has two good reviews on Li-Po stuff.
