hey buddy if you want some good lipos, get the venom 2 cell. your LHS may have them but if not, you can get them from amainhobbies or towerhobbies. they are 24.99. but if you want some 3 cell lipos, i'd check out hobbyking.com. they are located in hong kong but their prices are super cheap, but shipping is alittle much just because they are in hong kong. I have two of these lipos and they are GREAT!!! if you think it's fast on the two NiMh in series, wait till u see these babies in your MERV...o and u'll have to solder traxxas connectors on the batteries too

It's probably best to run a pair of 3s in parallel rather than the 2s in series. It will give you fast speed and a great run time. The 2s in series tends to melt the electronics.

yes, make sure you know the difference beween "in series" and "parallel" I've ruined an esc running on 4s in series.

The 3s 1550 Zippy's worked great for me just stupid fast
