Thanks for the help. I'm definitely going to see what the other people are using for batteries before I buy anything. The only downside to that is separating the people that buy only what they need (i.e. me) from the people that buy the most expensive battery they can find to impress everyone else (i.e.a lot of people)

My LHS said a while ago that they run 3600mah 20-24C lipos in pretty much anything 1/10 and have no issues, so I'm leaning towards the 25C ORCA. If i decide to run anything crazy for motor, i'll get better packs. Or buy used.
