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

Pretty much both, but more the latter.

Cool. 200$ for that 2200kv seems very nice if it's a good motor.

Since I'll probably have to pay the shipping costs, I'll wait until it burns! :-D

New questions: what would be the best combo (as cash "is" an issue):

Two Turnigy 3S 5000, 30C with a ccneu 2200kv motor

Or

One very good 5S battery from Mike with my current 9XL.

Also, I know that volts = power, mAh = runtime. Does the C rating affect either power or runtime?

As I said my goal is not to have the fastest truck possible; rather I'd like to have the most reliable truck. I just want to be able to go out with fully charged batteries, bash until the LV cut-off engages and go back home without having to worry about the packs.

Thanks
