Welcome to the forum.

What emaxx do you have? I have a gmaxx with a 1515 1Y 2200Kv running on a pair of 3S 5000mah for a total of 6S. The speeds are insane. This is basically my speed truck.

ANy enerland-based lipos such as Neu, Flightpower, Polyquest just to name a few are the best packs out there. Then are are also cheap lipos which are getting good reviews such as Zippy and Rhino.

If you run 2 5S lipos in series, it will become 10S which will smoke your ESC. You want to run it in parallel to increase mah(runtime) while keeping it at 5S. I use a pair of packs to balance the weight on both sides of my truck.

There are different good chargers out there such as Astro, Hyperion. I'm using a Hyperion Duo which charges a pair of batteries at the same time. No, you don't need a discharger.
