Default Can I run 2 different size lipo's

I'm getting a Losi lst XXL 2e and I already have 3s batts.. I was wondering if I can get 2s batteries so I can run 1 2s and 1 3s on the truck to make 5s???

You can, but they need to be the exact same battery. If you mix cells of different types, you have problems. It will work, but it will destroy your batteries if you aren't careful. Even running batteries in series can be troublesome with the same batteries due to manufacturing differences between cells. The closest you can get to a stable battery is a single 5s, for example. Running a 3s 5000mAh 50C and a 2 5000mAh 50C would be fine. XXL2 has the advantage of running single batteries so I would try use single packs as much as you can.
