JUST WANTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM BEFORE I
BUY THEM. THIS IS WHAT I GOT SO FAR! WHAT I AM LOOKING
FOR IS EITHER A 2 CELL OR A 3 CELL THE MAH IS JUST LIKE
NIMH WHAT I DONT UNDERSTAND IS DO I NEED 20C OR
25C OR 30C I HAVE A SLASH WITH VXL.

This should answer your question:
C Rating
LiPo cells are also commonly given a C or current rating. This is the maximum average recommended discharge current for the cell. For example, the Thunder Power 1900mAh packs have a 6C rating. To determine the maximum recommended discharge rate multiply the capacity times the C rating. 1900mAh x 6C = 11,400. So the maximum recommended discharge rate would be 11,400mA or 11.4 amps. If your application has a higher amp draw, remember that LiPo cells can be wired in parallel, and with 2 cells in parallel each cell sees half the total current. With 3 cells in parallel, each cell see one third the current.
By wiring packs in a combination of series to get the voltage and parallel to achieve the capacity and individual cell current to an acceptable level, LiPo cells can be used to power nearly every type and size of model.
