Default Whick Trakpower Li-po?

In a hurry to use my Cat SX i bought 2 packs of 3200 li-po cells from somebody on here. They now seem dead. They are ok for my 2wd but are no good in my 4WD.
Im after something fairly heavy as when i have i used lead under the 3200 li-po i have noticed the car being miles better.
What should i buy?

If you want weight go for the core-rc 5000mah ones, car was designed around them so they go straight in!

I use 3600 Trakpower, with 40g of Lead behind the servo.... there is space there on mine as I use a low profile servo mounted as far forward as intended.

I know it's not Trakpower I just don't want to make another thread - anyone tried to fit LRP 5300 lipo in Cat SX? Does it fit without problems? Thank you for your answer.

I have fitted the LRP 5300 Lipo.

It fits OK, and the wiring is nice and short with Corallys, but you have to be careful with the bumps on the pack. The front one has to sit right between the 2 front pulleys and there is probably only 1.5mm each side of the bump to each pulley. I used the locators glued to the bottom to stop it sliding, and also stuck velcro on the battery strap and to the top of the 5300 to make double sure it wouldn't slide and hit the pulleys. It fits really nice and snug and doesn't move at all. Very happy with it.
