So, I'm looking to buy new battery pack(s) or buy cells and make my own, even possibly just picking up the 5000 LiPo combo deal from MaxAmps... every place I look, everyone is out of stock on quality cells/packs and even though i really prefer not to have to go lipo at this time, it seems like the MaxAmps deal is about the only thing available. It would be a no brainer, but im also buying a brushless setup, not sure which just yet, Futaba 3PM 2.4 radio system and a nice metal gear digital HT servo (prolly Hitec HS-5645MG) although at this point i'll end up with a 2070 Traxxas cuz money is gettin tight.

So, with all that in mind what are some battery suggestions, and mre importantly, WHO HAS THEM IN STOCK...?

BTW the truck is a Rusty XL-5, I know, I know.... But's its a beast for bashing fun, but i want to take it to the track and not just be "the guy in everyone else's way"...

Are you dead set on MaxAmps?

You could check B-p-p for Hyperion (free shipping)

or

You could check Neumotors. They have some really nice looking pack for very decent prices.

The reason I suggest those two is because they have pretty decent prices and both use Enerland cells.

Oops. Just re-read your post. Cant help on NiMh... But check the LiPo out in any case. You will not believe the difference they make
