two EVO 3700mAh 5S1P packs would give me 148a/222a/370a and 7,400mah for $470
or two MaxAmps Lipoly 6000mah 5S2p.. 180a/240a, and 12,000mah for about $400
so looks like truerc's are the best bet?

That is way more battery than you need. You don't want to be hauling around that much weight if you are trying to go fast. Get the TrueRC 4000mah 5s1p packs like Squee suggested and run them parallel for 8000mah 5s2p. If you are really gonna spend that much on lipos in one shot get 2 sets of them. You can always strap them together and run them as a 16000mah pack like you wanted. But, you wont need to and then you will have 2 sets of batteries. one to run while the other is charging.

I run a 5s 8000mah setup from TrueRC in my Maxx and Revo and have never had an issue at all. As a matter of fact I can barley warm the packs up. Ive used a bunch of deferent motors also. Feigao 9XL, 8XL,9L Nue 1515 2.5D (1700kv) and one run on a 1512 2.5d (2000kv).
While you may want to run a slightly hotter motor than these in your car, but it doesn't weigh as much as my 11+ lb revo so your amp draw should still be fine.
A 8000mah setup from TrueRC will be perfect. They might not be the best cells available, but for the money they are really hard to beat. I just got a 3rd set a couple weeks ago when they came back into stock. The latest set I got are a
really nice build quality. They look really nice and are put together really solid. Dan over there must have been practicing.:018:
