4s if you're racing......... Reedy, Racer's Edge, SMC are all my favorites.

I use two 2s batteries in series. I use SMC batteries and love them. 6500mah 70c for $45 is a great deal

I personally run either a Nanotech 5000 35C(50$) or a Hyperion 5000 35C(100$)


IMO they perform near Identical to each other.

If your a regular customer of HobbyKing, Disregard this as I'm sure you'll already know.

When you want to buy something from HK, Leave the page open for a good 10-15min and come back. You'll normally get a little Bubble window open somewhere on the page offering you the product for a couple dollars cheaper.

When looking for 4S lipos keep in mind the battery size. The stock eco battery tray is 140mm X 50mm. Most Nanotechs are 150mm long or so.
I use Gens Ace 4S 5000mah 40C hardcase lipos in my ecos. They were $53 a few months ago, but are now $79. I guess I'm going to start looking at other brands.

How do those Nanotechs fit the stock Mbx6 Eco battery tray being 154mm long?
