what lipo's are you using in your revo?

[E-fanatic]

Brand: Enerland
C rating: 25
Burst rating: 50
Capacity: 6000
Cell #: 4s
How Many: two 2s in series(I own 4 of them)
Runtime: 18mins(thats really getting on it hard)

Running mmm 2200 combo geared 20/58 with (6.3inch tires) losi super bolt-ons in a traxxas e-revo= about 38mph

Brand: True Rc
C rating: 10c
Burst rating: 15c(I think)
Capacity: 8000mah
Cell #: 4s
How Many: two 2s in series
Runtime: 22 to 24 mins(that is really getting on it hard)

In same truck as above.
For some reasson the 8000s have more punch and produce 1.8mph faster runs

thanks for all the help
some good batteries running around here

i want to keep cheap so i came up with a good idea... tell me if this is ok...
i currently own a 8000mah trueRC 10c 3s lipo.
that is being run in the rustler...

what if i just got another one...
that'll give me 6s 8000mah 10c.
they are "rated" for 120A burst but i think he under rates them slightly..anyway...

some snooping around this forum tells me my revo will require bursts/peaks of up to 2400 watts of power.

so on 4s that's 160A's...too much
BUT on 6s that's only 120A's...that's within my burst range

so should/could i run 2 x trueRC 3s 8000mah 10c lipo's???
(yeah that's about one KG of batts there ..is that ok as long as i fiddle with the suspension to carry that weight?)

2 Lipo Packs ran in a series should be the same age. A Brand new one ran with a used one will tend to over discharge the older one.

Double check me on this, but I really don't believe the 3S 8000mah packs will fit the compartments.

About the highest 6S capacity setup I've been able to fit is 5000mah.

ok understood.
the pack isnt "old" so to speak, only has maby 10 cycles on it.
if i cycle and charge it again and bring it back to health do you think it will be ok?

and i'm doing a rEvo conversion, so there are not any battery compartments to worry about
