fantom and smc have 40c 5200 hardcase 2 cells and a soft 4 cell version. My buddy uses the 2 cells in his slash and they have a substantial effect on the sealed endball motor. 3 cells is just lame, ive seen it in buggies and a truggy all running the novak system. its like cutting your toes off. small change, can still run, but how fast? lol run 4s AT LEAST and just gear it right for how you use it. the guy in the truggy couldnt make a 5 min race on a 3s 3200.theoreticly you get your runtime from capacity and c rating will affect "punch" and temps. higher c rating is always better, buy the best batts you can afford as you are always limited by your batts in an electric car and that 2200 will need to consume mass quantities of amps during operation.
