I have just started flying my trojan the past 3 weeks, I have been using Zippy 2200mAh 25C. Ok I am still new at this so jump in if I got all this wrong... I need to know too. 
What I understand is the 25C is the max the battery can supply in a burst (in theory) ie 25 x 2.2Ah = 55A right? The ESC parkzone put in the trojan is 30A, set up for the motor, so therefore provided the battery max draw is > ESC it should be sufficient right?? If thats so, even a 20C (20 x 2.2 =44A), should work.
As battery performance will deteriorate over time, and that 'C' rating will decline, it makes sense to have a bit of extra allowance so a slightly higher 'C', like FlyingFisho suggests 25-30C is better, but lots higher is probably a waste. right?
