Built a new Bug!

Hey yall just got done building an 8 e 3.0

Just put a mamba monster v2 in it with a Spektrum S8010 Servo and DE racing mudgaurds with a proline wing.

Now what batteries should i run in it 3 or 4s? What C rating?

THANKS

Well the Mamba Monster needs at least 150amps continuous, so it would also depend on the mah of the batteries you choose. You could go 5000mah with 30C, but I like to play it safe with that system. I use 5000mah and up and always 40C and up.

How do I calculate the amps that a battery would put out?
