Lipo Capacity

[Roy]

Hi,

Looking at replacement lipo for the winter. Whilst I will be looking for the highest "C" rating that I can, I am still uncertain on the capacity.

Have been using 5000mah 25C for some time and generally run 13.5 & 10.5 motors. Recharging after races only added 1300 to 1500 mah's.

How critical is it to have batteries of 5000mah and above?

Are there any advantage over batteries of say 3200 /3800mah batteries?

Any comments would be appreciated.
