Buy 2 of the batts, just in case... They are great value and seem to perform as spec-ed, but having a spare is a great idea, as the cheaper packs have some issues with the internal contruction and assembly. I repair lipos, so just a friendly bit of advice!

Personally 5s is the way to go, but everyone should try 4s and then go to 5s to really see the benefits. I had alot of 4s setups, and since I went to 5 and 6s I have not even bothered with 4s. Maybe good for a racing 1/8 buggy with the cc 2650 motor, but I do not race, and a 2000kv motor on 5s seems great with my 1/8 buggies. For heavier vehicles like truggies and MT, 5s+ is the way to go. So much less stress on the esc and batts. And better motor temps, and more runtime too. Just a little extra weight for the extra cell, and that is less than 100grams.
