Last year my brand new kitty puffed up some 7.4v 2c 5800mah batteries, and some 11.1v 3c 4000 mah batteries (all Traxxas batteries). Maybe the batteries were a year to a year and a half old. They are approved batteries for use in that boat by Traxxas. The kid at the RC shop recommended something of a higher rating? I don't know if I should just trust Traxxas and my new batteries will not puff, or if I should get something heavy duty. I may only have time to run the boats once this year, and don't want to destroy these batteries and have nothing to use in my cars. (Rustler, Rustler 4x4, Stampede 4x4) Any one using batteries that are more or less bullet proof? I am running the stock engine, with upgraded dual cooling systems.
