I was thinking matched 2400s :

or matched 3000s:

3300's would be your best bet. RCCA did a brushless vs. brushed and they used matched 3300's and got around 10:30.

You'll get that too, today's 3300's from Gold Peak are likely the best overall cell we've ever seen. With the latest batches, we're seeing voltage & internal resistance numbers that a few years ago weren't thought even possible(even numbers that factory-sponsored drivers didn't get until more recent years). Trust us, a pack of GP3300's will give you ALL the performance you could want, in ALL ways(& the fact that you can run them more than once per day doesn't hurt, either)....:cool:

Not after every run but just like all nimhs, they could use a good cycling (drop down to .9 volts/cell) every month if you don't use them often. If you are going to drop your money on a good set of cells make sure you get a good charger like the reedy quasar pro or the lrp pulsar. I like the quasar simply because the built in ac/dc operation and up to 20 amp discharge rates.
