The TRC 5000's are rated at 50A - 75A. The 1515/1Y needs something that can handle 110A.

Take (mAh) X ("C"rating) / 1000 to get Amps.

So a 10C 5000mAh battery only gets 50A. (10 X 5000 /1000 = 50)

Thats why I recommended the batteries I did.

1)Polyquest 4500mAh 3S 30C - 50C Lipoly
4500 X 30 =135000 / 1000 = 135 Amps Continous
4500 X 50 =225000 / 1000 = 225 Amps Burst

2)Polyquest 5000mAh 3S 25C Lipoly
5000 X 25 = 125000 / 1000 = 125 Amps Continous

3)ZIPPY-R 4800mAh 25C 3S1P
4800 X 25 = 120000 / 1000 = 120 Amps Continous

If you use a battery rated for less amps than your motor needs then you run the risk of damaging your battery to a point of failure. (poof!)

As for the CD...

I do not have one, but everywhere I read ppl say that w/o proper set up, all the power unloads to the front wheels and causes ballooning. They also say getting one properly set up is a P.I.T.A. Unless you want to spend alot of time reassemling the diffs, it's not worth having. For the CD to work correctly, you need to have the right balance of diff fluids in the front and back...this seems to be alot of work to get the balance right.
