There's No such thing as a Starter box specific pack...and $ for $ the name brand packs aren't worth it....cheapo ebay/hobbyking lipo's are all you need.

wow didn't even knew that one can use a lipo battery on a starter box, that sure would save some weight!

Tech Regular
I'm sticking with my 8c. I see no need for anything higher until it can be proven, and I have tried to find an engine that the OFNA Blue top can't start with a good battery Lipo or Gel.
My 8c has a 48amp Continuous discharge rating and a max of 72 it can hit for 5seconds with out harm. In a starter box I can't see how this isn't more then enough for twin 775 motors.
Either way I do agree though that Lipo in the starter box is the only way to go, and that Nick (Integra) is correct on cost.. Don't waste money.. Buy cheap b/c they are truly all the same.
Side Note - Except the older Losi Hard case 4s packs someone that was putting those together couldn't solder the balancing wires for the life of them.
