Dont bother with ebay lipos, ever.

The hardcased Flightmax lipos you linked to are fine, or concider the Rhino ones of a similar spec (4900mah and 20c).

If you're using this with the stock esc and motors, you will also need an LVC.

There is some useful reading material in my signature, enjoy.

I bought a couple lipos from a HongKong seller 3 yrs ago and they were no where close to as described. They were supposed to be 30C car packs and what arrived were 10C little flight packs and they were complete junk. The seller refused refund and I fought with paypal for weeks until the seller was willing to take them back. I shipped them off to the seller and the return address supplied was a false addy,non-existant ?? The batterys came back and paypal still refused to isssue refund so I resent the empty box back to the address and someone received it and got my refund and resold the lipos for next to nothing. I'll NEVER purchase Lipo's or anything else from a HK seller ever again.
BTW, when I received the lipos they were shipped in a Non-padded envelope !!!! WTF ??
