HPI savage Flux XS battery

[JSink]

I just bought my first RC car and i chose the Flux XS. Ive been trying to find out what battery is the best. I just bought a 3300mah 35c 3s battery, is there a different size you guys would recommend. Thanks in advance.

I would stay away from runnin a 3s battery pack. It's brutal on the drive train. Trust me, I have an XS and just replaced the rear pinion & ring gear, front & rear center drive cups on the diffs, and quite a few pinions and trans gears. Also have to replace the bearings that go on each side of the diff, front and rear. Also burnt a motor up. But they have had to do with gearing and the terrain I was runnin on.
