The first thing you need to do is figure out how many amps or watts your motor is pulling. The best way to do this is to look at the ESC. If your ESC is rated for 40 amps, then you know your motor "shouldn't" pull 40 amps, and you will be safe with a 45+ amp battery. To figure out this equation, watch the video below. It will help you out a lot on understanding how to figure out yoru setup.

I purchase my batteries from either hobbyking (good luck on returns) or hobbypartz. But, this is going to depend on where you are located in the world. Let us know and we can help you out with a location much better.

Here is the video.
