E-Baja

Lipo 10000mah 5S 18.5V - $299,-
So 600 dollar for 2 LiPo's, thats cheap, compared what a 5000mAh 7,4V LiPo here in the Netherlands costs

"I've found that electrics stay a little cleaner"
Another reason to make a E-Baja! :D I always saw that nitro's/gas cars were dirtier than electrics, but never thought about it, well found! :P

personally id steer clear of that site. there are much better batteries around, and you will be wanting the BEST available for this project. id say 450+ for a GOOD 10K 5s pack...

I will wait till coolrunnings has his E-Baja, so I can look which batteries he uses, what the topspeed is and so on..

Maybe I'll buy a 3s LiPo from maxamps, for in my Rustler VXL, just to try those batteries..

the general consensus is that the ratings are bogus and they are overpriced. check out the zippy-r, where a 4800 3s lipo is less than $60, 25C.
