I dunno what LBRC would say (I think he gets single cells somewhere), but bphobbies.com has 180 kan cell packs and the micro connectors he uses. So get a 6 cell and split it into two 3 cell packs, or get an 8 cell and split into two 4 cell packs etc. For my use, with the turbo and shotgun motor mount, 3 cells is just fine.

Could also check cheapbatterypacks.com for single cells?

Yeah you are right the 3 cells is just fine with the shotgun setup, 4 cells would only cause stuttering. But i read in one of LBRC's posts that he has quite a few battery packs, but he is waiting on a tutorial before he sells them, is that correct LBRC?

I think Badskater21 knows where to get 4 cell packs. But I think I'd rather use 3 cell packs. However I have an Aquaspeed moter in my car should I just stick to getting 4 cell packs?

We used to sell them, if there's enough interest then there's no reason we can't start again; here's a tutorial on how to add a 4th cell to the stock pack btw:
