I'm running Rhino 3S 4000mah 25C with a Medusa 50x3300 and my e-crt.5 is a beast with 10th scale truck tires & wheels.

Does anyone have an estimate of how many amps I should aim for when choosing a Lipo for this setup. 4s 3000mah, 20C rating? Or should I aim higher than 60 amps continuous?

"choosing"

I would like to know if some of the experts out there think this battery is suitable for a 1509 1.5Y in my mini. 1.5y is 2400kv if I remember correctly.

Lipo's on thier way

$25 to ship 2 lipos from china, I could have almost bought a 3rd pack for that

I wanted to clean up the wiring a little bit before my lipos get here. I ran the bec and esc wires through a small hole in the battery box to go around the center diff rather than over it. Standard sized soft lipos shouldn't have a problem fitting in while laying flat. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the power switch, it's ugly with the wires hanging over the rear center drive shaft. I also modded some scrap body post and put them on the front tower, I was tired of only have 1 unbroken body post.

I didn't have time to run a full pack down before I started feeling like a a pile of crap. Went inside and crashed for 4 hours. Snapped a pick for everyone. The pack is smaller than I imagined. 4S, but only 3000mah. The MM really heated up with the tall gearing (expected), so I took it from 16T to 15T (smallest available other than the 14T on my RC8T) and slapped a tiny fan on it to cool it down. It stayed around 130 even in the afternoon heat. Motor got up to 154, pushing the truggy around the street on speed runs, through the week tall grass. Nothing can stop this thing. It can be hauling at 30, blip the throttle and it's on its back. I can't get it up to full throttle without losing control. This is what a basher should be like.
