In 2 wd I currently use a speed passion LPF speedo which if I remember rightly has an 80A continuous discharge rating. The lipo I'm using is 3600mah x 35C= 126A so more than sufficient. Whilst you are only running lower power motors you should not need larger capacity cells unless you specifically want the extra weight to balance the car.

Presently use a range of ESC, SP GT2 (80amp), Tekin RS (102amp) and the trusted GTB (?? amp)

Run mainly Saloon (Mi3.5) and 4WD Buggy (ZX5SP).

Mainly looking for the punch that appears to be missing from my older cells.

Looking at 3800mah Demon. Anyone any thoughts on these cells?
