The best budget batteries I have found are the Gens Ace hard packs from Hobbypartz.com. Unfortunately the 4s 5000s are out of stock on the web site. I would call them to make sure info is up to date. They ship fast just do not expect to return anything from what I have heard. I have several of there packs and have never had a problem with them.
It just seems like people find a deal and keep it to themselves like its big money in club taxes....lol we all do this for fun. And that's my point cagun. A lot of people would rather be a jackass than help out fellow racers. Not everyone but a lot. I've met a lot of really cool people at smac but there are a lot of people that act like a complete ads when someone ask a question. Just sayin.

In my opinion, it is a better idea to buy 2 2s batteries instead of a single one. First, if a cell goes bad, only one pack is lost. Also, the fittment (at least for the gens ace) of the cells in their 2s packs are much better than their 4s packs due to a the tolerances in their cell sizes. Some 4s packs will bounce around inside their casing.

The biggest problem with running 2 2s packs is balancing. You have to have a charger that will balance charge both packs at the same time,If not your wasting time and money. Two packs with different cell voltages will only discharge to the weakest packs capacity and puts a strain on the higher packs cells along with potential of another failure point in the jumper wire.In my opinion 4s is the way to go. As far as C rating that relates to the packs discharge capacity,for example a 45c pack will put out 1/2 the current or punch as a 90c which is not necessarily a bad thing depending on track conditions and driver skill.If your looking for a 4s hard case pack check out this ProTek battery on A-Main.com
