I ran 13.5T stock Blinky last night at MB raceway on EOS carpet.

I used my Intellect 4200mAh, a new 4400mAh, and 5000mAh packs, 4200 in practice, and 4400 and 5000 in Qual and Finals. I normally use 4200 and the new 4400 in mod racing, 5000 in my 4wd.

I didn't feel a difference between the 4400 and 5000 in speed, punch or have any fade at the end. They each took about 1665-1700mAh in recharge after the runs, so used about the same for the run. I was playing with gearing. I didn't race with the 4200 as they are a bit older than the 4400. I'll back to back the 4400 and 4200 at some point to see if i can feel the difference. All my packs are less than 1 year old at most. I replace mine every year.

I think I preferred the 5000mAh as I made less mistakes with this. I rolled the car landing a few jumps with the 4400, and didn't with the 5000. I think the added weight helped settle the car, so I went faster overall in the 5 min run due to less mistakes, but the added weight didn't slow the car down.

I normally take more out of each pack in Mod (6.5T) on same track. Blinky certainly used less in a 5min run than running mod.
