...They are called 2/3A cells..The ones you will want to look for are by a company called GP, short for something which i cant remember...They hold 1.2 volts each (their AMOUNT of power; basically) and their MAH rating (how LONG they HOLD that power; basically) is 1100...usually around about 2.00-2.50 per cell...

...My 'professional' opinion (cough, coughcough) is spend your hard earned dollars at UNITED RC, (link in the FAQ section) beacuse they do the best packs in the business...

..EDIT: Golden Planet? Global Party? Damn i cant get it out of my mind now..lol..

Does anyone make a chassis yet that can hold 4 sub c cells? That would be plenty powerful IMO.

it would actually be LESS powerful but longer run time


4-cell Sub C = 4.8 volts
6-8 cell 2/3A = 7.2-9.6volts

I believe gp1100s are made by gold peak, but there are serveral knock-off brand names (Gold Power, Golden Power, etc) that make stuff that looks the same as Gold Peak Cells. You will find many knock-off vender batteries already inside of new remotes you buy.
