About the batteries: If you want a lighter battery (less capacity mah, like 5000 or 6000mah) I would agree to go with a top of the line pack for this project. The 3700mah packs in parallel lincpimp mentions would be a nice setup.
But if you are talking 10,000mah, even a 15c pack will hold good voltage at 100+ amps. TrueRC and Maxamps both would work if you want to save a few bucks. I have a 12000mah maxamps pack and it barely breaks a sweat in my Jammin CRT. But it's also kinda fat for racing, lol.

Not really sure if the maxamps packs are any cheaper than the flightpower. A 5000 4s maxamps pack is 194, while and exolite 5350 4s flightpower is 215. Similar specs, and about 20 bucks difference. Go to 6s and the maxamps 5k packs is 284, while the better rated 5000 25c flightpower is 299, 15 bucks more for a much better pack.
I know whick pack I would buy, and I think that I know what everyone else who sees this would choose.
Since the maxamps 10000 loose cells are on sale, they are a good deal, not much else on maxamps site is. BTW the 10000 cells are rated at 10c, and that is all they are good for.
Most maxamps users (on this forum with a heavy vehicle) have the 8000 packs, which should perform well, as most setups do not get close to 160 amps cont. I think that the maxamps 4000 cells are about 15c cont before voltage starts to take a dump, so 120 amps cont for the 8000 packs is good for almost any 4s setup that is not overgeared.
