LiPo batteries
hey guys, seeing as I'm planning on buying a E-firestorm flux at some point and it being my first electic I'd just like a little info on LiPo batteries. With the Firestorm flux, what battery is best suited for it? A higher mAH 7.4V LiPo or a slightly lower mAH 11.1v LiPo. I'll be buying the stuff from Australia when I visit and they don't really have a large range of LiPos. Like they have 4500ish mAH 11.1v LiPos going for like $120USD which is a bit out of my price range seeing as I'd need to buy a charger too.

This is basically what I have to choose from. Ideally I'd like to pay under $100AUD for a battery.

RE: LiPo batteries
It seems you use the 2s LiPos for the Warp 5700kv motor and 3s for something like a 4700kv.
Also, what does it mean when batteries are classed as 20C or 25C. Is that the discharge rate or something? Is higher better? Would something like a "Yeah Racing" 4000mAH 7.4v 25C LiPo suffice?
