Oops, I meant Duratrax not Traxxas.. I always seem to mix those two up. I saw the batteries in RC Driver mag but couldn't find anything on their site. I know this is ghetto but I don't have a scanner so here's a pic from the magazine... LOL!

check out tenergy cells on ebay they make some cheap sub-c packs with high drain rate

u can either buy prebuilt or build the packs yourself

If i remember correctly the xl5 can take 8 cells check the traxxas forums for that info

I personally run 7 and its great lots of wheel spinning torque without to much extra weight
