Low mah high C rating... If you really go for all out speed, you are only making a few passes, so runtime is of no concern. Plus you want freshly charged batts, to get the most zap.. Usually after a few passes the voltage comes down a bit, so the speed is not as good. I plan to run a kevlar wrapped rotor hacker 5s motor on 3s lipo in my speed 10th scale. Fan and ubec on the MM or course. Getting all of that tucked into a tc chassis is a tricky proposition.

My layout is similar to the tc3, servo esc and motor on one side and batt on the other. I am using a neu 5000 25c 3s, almost the same weight as the other components...
