What does 30c mean ?
do i need to match the battery to my speedy controller and motor?

G'day mate, you are serious about coming back!!
The "C" rating is it's max discharge rate in amps, as a function of it's capacity. i.e. 5000@30C = 5ah (it's capicity) X 30(times it's capicity) = 150A (surge)
Basically higher C batteries have less internal resistance, and so don't drop volts as you pull the trigger, and go faster as a result.
as for gear, use what ya got. You won't over discharge the Lipos in a 5/six minute race, so no need for a lipo cutout.
Come down, plent of people to pick brains on going from the nim to the lipossss.
Cheers
