That's next on the list. Better lipos for sure.
 
I thought most Losi Products were EC5 connectors. BUt i could be wrong. Definaely get a better battery 30C is very dissapointing
 
I know 30c, is not the best. They are just a set of 3s, that I used for crawling. Any suggestions on what mah & c rating I should be looking at?

5000+mAh and at least 60C. The higher the C rating the better for anything that goes fast. Look at CNHL. They usually have some good sales.

Really good looking truck you got there.
 
Thanks for the feedback. I found the following at my local hobbyshop

gensacearespammers 3S LIHV ADVANCED SERIES LIPO BATTERY 100C (11.4V/6500MAH)​

For 73.00
Or

gensacearespammers 3S LIPO BATTERY 60C (11.1V/5300MAH)​

For 70.00

However I have never ran a LIHV, but my charger can charge it.
What would you recommend?

Way overpriced compared to other batteries that are a lot better. But if that's the best you can do locally, the 6500 LIHV is a lot better deal.
 
Do you have any links to other brands, ect.

Those are about as good a battery as you'll get. A member here spent about 2 years testing LiPo batteries and CNHL was right near the top. Only ones better were expensive drag packs meant for extreme loads.
