Sorry to hear about the battery/ESC mount coming out. That surprises me as mine has been through some pretty horrific crashes and it stayed put. Did you use all the screw mount points?

BTW: Just because the ESC is capable of delivering 150A doesn't mean you need to have batteries that can do that. The current draw is a function of vehicle, gearing, etc. If geared for the typical ~40mph, one pack is more than enough. I can easily run 40 minutes on a 4s 5000mAh Turnigy pack, which equates to a measly 7.5A average draw, with bursts around 50-60A. That is the equivalent of 1.5C continuous and 12C burst.
