Need help figuring out budget brushless for revo!

[R00ST]

So to run 5s I would have to run a single pack right? Is there any way to run a 3s and 2s pack?

Do u know the capacity on the e-revo's batt boxes? I was hoping to run two packs but I am thinking two 3s packs might be overkill? I mean..truly you cant have TOO much power :) BUT I also want good run times without having to scrap the factory e-revo battery boxes.

How big of 3s packs can be fit?

Is there a price floating around that the MMP will go for? A feigao 10xl or 11xl is what I was thinking.

Yes you can run 3s and 2s, just wire them in series but the packs must be made of the same cells and must have been used in series/ parallel since new. 3s 5000 packs are advertised to fit, but I'm pretty sure people have fit bigger... MMP goes for $128 on tower...

Awesome, thanks for the help!

Now to another question (Can start a truggy thread if need be). What do you guys think is the "ideal" Platform for a racing truck/truggy that is about revo size?

E-revo
HPI Flux
Hyper ST, or other truggy?

I want bulletproof as possible but cost is a huge concern as well. Roller e-revo's seem pretty cheap (150-200ish depending on whats included), have not priced flux/truggies yet though.
