neither if you were thinking of using them as your main power unit in a featherweight. The AA and similar design of batteries are not designed for high current applications and the wiring on those is the major giveaway (very small).

The old phrase is very true, if it seems too good to be true then it probably is.

matt, go for 2 of these wire them in series

that will work well for you. just check with someone on here your electronize can take the voltage coz i dont know that one. you would want to change the tamiya connectors too, use your deans connectors instead.

this is how you wire batteries in series in case you didnt know, double the voltage :-)
