If using 4s or above, a maxamps 5Ah or better pack is what I would choose. But of course, there are different battery options (and I'm gonna stop right there).

Have to disagree with you Brian, the maxamps 5ah packs are useless for 4s, and marginal for 5s with a 1512. I ran the equivalent aveox motor (2000kv 1512 size) with a quark 80amp esc and a 5s 5ah maxamps pack could barely keep up. This was in a revo, but it still had the 2 speed and mech brakes. I threw in a well used polyrc 3700 25c 5s pack and the truck ran considerably better, more punch and about the same runtime. Those 5k packs are 12-15c at best... I had a pair of the maxamps packs and neither was any better. I also tried to run a 7xl on a pair of 5k 2s packs in series and they could not keep up. But a pair of trakpower 4900 2s packs worked just fine.
Not trying to be difficult, but I would hate to see anyone waste money on crap lipos....
