Sorry Casper, I knew that, Just bought the 22 2.0 and I was thinking about that with the battery choice...

The 22-4 is very durable. I ran 12 practice heats and 3 mains and only broke one thing the entire time with a high speed crash.

Thanks Dakotah. I assumed the Orion would be the battery of choice. I've got one in the full size pack and it rips.

Venom 4500mah 50C packs is what I will run.

Venom stuff runs way better then what it is rated at which tells me they are either telling the truth or......

Orion makes great batteries as well.

I got a question for you TLR boys that have had a chance to run this buggy. What kind of motor/esc temps have you been seeing in testing on more normal indoor dirt surfaces? And with what motor/esc? I don't think the temps you saw at the worlds would be as relevant, but I wouldn't mind hearing what those were too if you wanted to share.
