I think 2 spc 8k lipos for 4S would be plenty fast. They are great cels and will give you the most runtime. They are about 75 bucks each so its 150. The 8000s have 2 4000 cells in parallel. I have never been impressed with 5k cells by themselves for volt drop,but I've also never owned some of the nue batteries so I dont know.

I have my emaxx geared for 42 mph on 4S and I agree with Stum. After that it just becomes ridiculous power thats really not usable unless you want to dig gopher holes in your backyard with the tires.

If they would have gone 33mm then we could have fit the 5000 5s packs at truerc and we could have put 2 in parallel. That would have been just awesome. I am going to go with 2 of the 4s packs in parallel. That is the most runtime you can get in the revo.
