lipo for speed 300

long time no see guys,

I was just getting back into rc and found that several of my nimh packs are dead.

I was wondering how much current draw a speed 300 has and what lipos are suitable for it.

Is 900mah at 15C enough or will i cause an explosion. =P

Thanks

I plan on using a Mystery 900mAh 2-cell Lipo with my Xray M18 running a Graupner Speed 300 6V motor and I believe everything should be fine.

The capacity worked out perfectly. We run 5 minute qualifiers and main and I only ever used 50% capacity. I used my CellPro 4S charger to bring the packs back to 100% and everything stayed cool during runs and charging. Not bad for an $8 battery pack.
