I am going lipo...is this my best way to spend $700 more bucks?

I would go with one of the following 4S lipos:

go with polyquest, neu, thunderpower , or flightpower i had the maxamps the decent but no where near as good as my neu or polyquest batteries

Stay away from maxamps, they are a waste of money. Go with the polyquest, poly rc, flightpower, or neuenergy packs. They can deliver! Plus they are matched properly, by performance during testing, not just by static voltage.

Plus you can save some weight and go with a pair of 3700 mah 4s 25c packs. They will weigh less than the maxamps 5k, and provide more power. I compared a 3700 25c 5s pack to my maxamps 5000 5s pack and there was no comparision. The 3700 pack blew the 5000 pack away. More power and the runtime was just as good.

if i am spending the $$$,i want the best most powerful that the rig can take...it has metal everything...Trani and Diffs!
?????any one used the Schulze chargers!...i can get flightpower and Schulze from the same people i got my electronics from??????

Neu, Polyquest, Polyrc, flightpower, tp, kokam.. you could save some money buy gettin' some A123s.. $110 for 10 cells is good...
You might need some 5.5mm/6.0mm bullet plugs as well...
