Read Darin's race prep thread, all the info you need is in there, do his outboard mod, I use 2x thunder power 5000mah 2s 45c lipo's and am very happy with them

I'm no expert but lipos, I would go with 5000mah or bigger and the highest c rating you can afford. I use from 25c-40c with good results. Also look at doing the upgrades Darin suggested in the race prep thread although I'm still using the stock liner. Also I would recommend changing the stock deans connectors for something better, I use ec5 connectors also I have changed the motor connectors for 4mm ones. That's about all I have done apart from change the esc fir a turnigy 120a marine one (much smoother throttle curve) and she runs like a dream.
