What battery setup to use

[Gary Cape Town]

I am getting a new Geico and don't know what batteries I should get. I have been offered 6000mA, 2sc, 35C batteries.....but don't understand much about this yet.
Some advise please, or point me to a thread that has already been done, as I am sure others have needed to know what type and size batteries work best with the standard RTR setup.

There are many options, do a search on the forum, you want at least 40C, I run 2 2s or 2S 3S for 5S 5000 ma Gens Ace. Some don't like that they don't come with 5.5mm bullet connectors or as heavy wire as turnigys but I have not had any issues and have many runs on them. You don't have to spend a lot for a good 5000ma 40c 2s lipo around $30. You will love the MG!

35c is fine for your application. The higher the c rating the better, but I wouldn't go lower than 25c

The 6000's will work very well, good long runtimes with them too.

If you need more batts for several runs these are VERY inexpensive and are great for sport running.

You can get two sets for less than $100

Thanks for the advise on what size batteries to use.
Do I run the two bateries in series or parallel.

Series

I have some nano 2s 4500 45-90c. Cheap and good punch, I also got some 4400 60-130c, and it had even more punch. ( they were out of stock with higher mah when I bought it) So go for as high C rating you can afford

Here is the mystic with 45-90c nanos first and then 65-130c at 1,40min
