Also consider a 2s lipo pack.
I purchased a Great Planes 2s 1500 8C pack over a year ago for my Mini-T. It works fine with the stock electronics. You just want to watch for when it starts to slow down, or better yet, get a low-voltage cutoff device.
Here's a link to the pack I got: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXGHE5&P=ML . Of course, this means you need a lipo charger, but if that's all you're using it for, you can get away with a $30ish 2-3 cell lipo charger. Heck, there's even a 1A wall charger for 2s packs for less than $10 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLGP8&P=7 .

My 2s pack also works great with the Mamba 6800 system, which lets you know it'll handle an upgrade to the electronics as well.

Joe Electronics run on smoke... if you let the smoke out, they stop working.
