New brushless e-revo owner

[simplechamp]

The NiMH packs that come with the brushless E-Revo simply can't supply enough current to the Mamba Monster. There's a whole slew of issues brought on by using incapable batteries, check the Castle Creations section for more info. I would suggest 5000mah 20C lipos at the very least, 30-40C even better.

The only reason Traxxas includes those NiMH packs is because many people want to buy the whole "all-in-one-box" setup and be ready to drive, and they don't want to add on the sticker shock pricing of including a decent set of lipos and charger. Plus, too many noobs would blow themselves up.
