RC10B4.1 Battery Recommendation

RC10B4.1 Battery Recommendation
I'm picking up a RC10b4.1 and need some advice on batteries. I plan on racing the buggy, but will probably spend a lot of time practicing on the track first. So, I was thinking of only getting a 25C battery but with 5000mah so I could get a decent runtime. I know you should try to get as much C as you can but I can only spend around 50 bucks and I'm concerned about runtime since this will be my only battery for a while.
What type of runtimes do you guys get?
(I'll be running the stock motor)
Here are the two batteries I was looking at:
Associated Reedy WolfPack LiPo 2S 7.4V 3400mAh 35C Dean
Venom LiPo 2S 7.4V 5000mAh 25C Hard Case Universal

Get the hobbyking 65-130c 6600mah, comes to less then $50 shipped 3 day air, and by far the best battery i have every used. Fits great, and I can run for an hour straight in my b4.1

There was a Thread started a few days ago about battery C ratings
If I recall correctly. The higher the C the better efficiency which allows for better (longer) run times.
I have a 5300 50c battery. with a Castle Sidewinder and 1410 3800 we got near 1 hour of run time.
I think on my B4.1 with my 13.5 I get about 45-1 hour of run time. I never drive for that long. Normally just 5-10 mins to check temp and practice a Heat time race.

On the b4.1 i am sure anything over a true 20c would be fine. However its best to buy the highest C rated batteries, since they will make a difference in other cars.

I went with the Venom 5000mah 25C. It fit perfetly into the battery holder and I got about 40 minutes of run time just fooling around in a ball field.

I race with the Reedy Wolfpack and I love it. I have the bullet plug 25C version, but I believe they have the same cell as the deans plug packs.
