Looking for "safe", long-running Lipos for my set-up

When I first built my conversion, I know that the TrueRC Lipos I had were "borderline". And they did puff pretty quickly.

I know that Lipo is not inherently a "safe" technology, but I meant safe in the sense that, for my set-up, a 30C pack would be much "safer" than the 10C pack I had.

So now it's pretty clear that something around 30C would be perfect, but I still don't know if I'd be better off with 1 big pack or 2 smaller ones. Neil said 2, but I'd like to understand why.

And the remaining question I'll have to answer myself is this: buy cheap now, or postpone any RC until next spring when I'll be able to buy better gear... :-)

God I wish RC were my only hobby! :-D

Here, you can get some killer deals for some clearance, old stock Hyperion packs...

http://aircraft-world.com/shopexd.asp?id=4267 25C, 4350mah, 2-6s packs

IMO, I would try the VZ 30C packs, the 25C packs I have aren't the best matched packs, they do perform, but the balance is not so great. These are both Enerland based packs, so you know you are getting good quality cells in your packs.
