I think Korey Harbke is using a 6s battery.

Hobbyking, which has a warehouse in Oregon, sells large capacity batteries.
Full size car batteries are also a good option. My $90 Duracell deep cycle 35AH powers both cars (mod tc and f1) all day long with room to spare. A couple races back, a racer had his battery fail and needed to charge off my battery. Surprisingly, it still pulled through the day.
