NEWBIE Senton 4x4 3S BLX Battery Suggestion?

[MayhemDad]

I'm sure this has been asked 100 time, so let me apologize now. Instead of fixing 10+ year-old cars that were given to us, we've decided to go new with the Senton 4x4 3s BLX. It should be here on Monday. Obviously, we'll need a battery & charger setup. I don't like dirt cheap garbage, but we don't have to have the absolute best. Looking for suggestions, including brand, mAh, voltage, etc. Thanks again for any assistance.

I have had great performance on dynamite reaction 2 5000mah 50c 3s lipos.

I run gensacearespammers packs which have served me well. Get atleast a 5000mah packs with at least 50c rating and you will be sweet.

I got these from amazon, $80 for 2 and a spectrum s150 charger for $49.99. 4 runs on each of them and so far no issues, the charger is a no brainer to use and charges/balances efficiently. (Not a bad way to get up and bashing for under $200)

Thanks, LMC.

We picked up the same Spektrum charger and a Helios battery based upon the local hobby shop's recommendation. We're getting about ~25 minutes on the battery with me turning down the throttle for my son for a majority of the time and then me turning it up to 3/4 throttle for roughly 2-3 50-yard dashes. Flat field, no hills. Is this pretty average run-time? Thanks again for your assistance.
