Sorry to inform you but Zippys highest capacity availible is 5000mah

Hmmm, well if the price is proportional... We'll see. :-)

hobbycity.com

they have 5000mah 20c-30c lipos for only $20 each. they are labeled as 15c-20c, but they are just mislabeled.

also, for less amp draw and more power, try the 3s lipos.

the 2s lipos will be ok for your setup if you gear to 40mph or less and the 3s will be even better if you stick to gearing for 50mph or less.

You don't need frickin 8000mah to get good runtimes. I bet you'll get comparible runtimes with a 5000mah 25c battery then you did with your old lazy true rc pack.

Check out the flightmaxes and turnigys on hobbycity.l

I'm not a big TrueRC fan much anymore since I've discovered Zippys but I have to give some credit to Dan at T-RC. The 15C 8Kmah Packs I bought from him have ben working great in my E-revo for a year now and they have tons of punch and balance perfectly still. I'm well aware a higher Crating will offer more power,efficientcy ETC but I've gotten my moneys worth from these packs already and there showing no signs of giving up yet. I get 45-55+ minute runs w/no problem.

Ya, that's just about what I was getting with my 2S 8000 packs as well...

But if I don't find a buyer for my Revo, I may look into those Zippys...

Well advised, even though they don't have anything bigger than 5K-mah the money you'll save will make up the difference ! You may buy (4) rather than (2) ????

You could always run batteries in a parrallel. If you had two 4s 4000mah packs and run them in a parrallel it would be equivalent to 4s 8000mah.

Excellent idea.
