Here's the breakdown on Powering the Micro-T...
Note: All due credit for this info to LBRC from other Forums (if I'm misquoting anything, let me know).
Firstly, the Motor can draw up to 2.1A max. So if you want the absolute highest possible amount of power/torque from your Micro-T, you need to get a battery pack with a high enough discharge rate to put out that 2.1a.
In terms of Lipo, the "C" rating is a multiplier for the pack rating. A 250mah battery rated at 10C means you can safely discharge at a rate of 250ma x 10 = 2500ma = 2.5amps. Such a pack would be ideal for the Micro-T, but so far the ones that people have been reporting on (like the E-Tec 250mah) is a bit too wide to fit in the battery compartment of the Micro-T without some dremeling.
I'm on the hunt for a Lipo cell that'll fit the stock compartment and still put out at least the 2.1amp and I'm hoping to hear good news soon!
