I would get one new pack rather than 3 used packs. At £10 each there not going to be great.

at 20c you'll be sucking the life out of them...particularly if you are using a high powered setup. Look for the more modern higher C rating packs.

Thanks for the input guys, currently im using 4000mah i bought cheaply from HK (http://silverbackrc.com/en/products_...c2id=503&page=) im using them on a 13t Hobbywing esc combo and they seem okay in my 2wd durango.

Im going to get an 8t motor and new speedo soon, whats a decent battery for this combo without burning the cash?

There's nothing wrong with 20c.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with those cells either.
However I'd be wanting to see pics from all angles to check for swelling before buying.
