Ok first off, I think Elites are awesome.. have some.. 2nd those are HEAVY packs listed up there the MA 8k's are 365grams vs 500 each (730g vs 1000g) for an extra 1000mAH or 5minuts of run time?? Bashing ok.. good deal; but racing though the MA 8k's make the truck handle bad enough, let alone another 270 grams! I wouldn't suggest that much weight unless you don't do any jumping.. you're just asking for breakage, sorry. my2c I've actually gotton to the point where I only run 2s 5k hard packs.. if I were you I would go for the new 2s 6k hard packs at most. Lots of makers have them out now in 30c and 35c varients.

I seen the 4500s a while back and posted it up on the rcuniverse but no one seemed to care????? I thought it was great that we can fit 9000mah 4s lipo in the e-revo. I bet they will peform better than some of those 8000 packs out there

Truerc makes the 5000 mah 14.8V in a 160x50x27. You can get 10000mah out of this setup. I bought one and am going to buy another for when I get my ERevo. This is the most capacity you can get in an E-Revo right now.

Whats the C rateing of the true rc 5000s? I will have to check it out.

The elites are 30C makeing it the most powerfull battery set up. They shouldnt get hot or have a voltage drop issue even with the most demanding set up in the e-revo

even with low c ratings the larger capacity packs (maxamps 8000's etc.) seem to handle the draw of a powerfull brushless system, so 10,000mAH should be ok i would think.

The 5000mah packs are 10C which isnt much but the 5000s hold voltage much better than their 4000s. I think they claim to peak at 113A. 2 of these in parallel will give 100A continuous which is 20C and really more than enough for most setups. I was running just one of these packs in 4S in an MT and didnt have any trouble. At 92 bucks each they are a deal though. You are going to see much better punch with the elites, I imagine, but this is the best setup for runtime I have found.
