    Ill have to buy them next. But have been lookin for lipos. Found a few 4s 5000 models but what does 25c or 30 c mean. Do i want the highest c and millamp rating i can fit. My charger can only charge up to 5000 mill. The c rating is what gets me and if my esc can handle it.

        Check out hobbyking.com and their turnigy lipos. They are inexpensive and a lot of guys on the forum use them including myself and they work great! Go for the 30c rating, no less than 20c.

              I just got my 4s lipos in and im going to reprogram the esc. I also have my 3s lipos. Would i have to reprogram the esc every time if i want to run the 3s lipos?

                No, look in your manual. There is a setting for "auto calculate"

                  Up the power and you may consider upping the drive train. Any way to pull the teflon out and run a 150 shaft in them? I know a 150 cable will be too big for the 4mm shaft...wonder if those can be upgraded>.?

                  I am waiting on RH cable and I will be offering cables to fit the factory stuff. The struts may be able to have the bushing removed and upgraded to 3/16" shafts. I just finished some 4mm shaft stingers doing this for a guy.

                      Get my new couplers and 130 cable system with the same shaft as stock and then you will have something to handle the power and torque. You will need it.

                        Once you guys decide on the right one I will get more. I have 5 more of the 9xl motors on order. I thought I ordered 10, but only ordered 5. I figure either that or the 8xl will be the ticket.

                          So you guys figured 8xl is the one to go for a 3s and 9xl for a 4s?
                          You would get more speed out of a 9xl on a 4s right?

                          What props would you go with x442 and x442r?

                            9xl's got me 55.2mph on 4s with 40mm carbon props. 442's L&R are what I'm gonna try next!
