Thumbs up True RC Batteries - 10.28.2007, 09:59 AM

I am reaching the finish line of m maxx and all i need is the motor and batts and it will be finished in about 2 weeks. I have decided on everything except batteries. I want to go cheap but i don't want to sacrifice battery quality. I would really like to keep it under 170$ for 2 packs. I was looking at true RC batteries because they seem to be about half of the price of the max amps. I will be using a Neu and quark combo. I was looking at the 4000,6400,and 8000 packs. i realized the 4000s had to low of a current draw so they where out. but the 6400 had a 96amp consistent current draw and 128 peak(i can pick 2 up for about 150). i was also looking at the 8000s. i knew a place where they would sell me 2 for 150 and they have a amp draw of 120 amps and 160 bursts. Weight does not matter to much to me but here is my dilemma. First i want something that will get me about 25-30 minutes runtime. Second i want something a little on the cheaper side. Third i want something that takes less time to charge (so maybe the 6400 )because i am charging on an ice. Also less weight is good but is not a big factor when i am chosing my batteries. Also if the place that sells 2 8000s for 150 goes out of stock it would have to be the 6400s or the 8000s for about 50 more. So what do you guys think of these batteries. with the 6400s work for my purpose (i will try to get the 8000s,but only a 50%chance) or do i need to go automatically to a higher amp draw like the 8000s. Thanks guys for your input.
