Default 2200 mah 35c VS 2500mah 25C

Hello, i'm looking for a light 6S lipo for 6 minutes quals.

My setup:
- 808e
- Rx8
- T8 1350kv

I hesitate between Hyperion G3 2200mah 35C and 2500mah 25C. There is no lipo under 2500mah in 25C, that's why I'm asking. The 2200 is lighter of course. What would you recommend? I run 20 minutes in 6S 3300mah 25C.

I'd go with the 2200mah 35C, its a stronger battery that weighs less. Hard to believe you'd not be able to finish with it as well.

I just discovered turnigy nano tech lipos. Are they really 5C capable?

There is a 2200mah 6S 25C lipo. Is it to safe to run it on a RX8/T8 1400kv setup on a 808?

You would easily make a 6 minute qualifier with a 6s 2200 pack. I run 10 minute mains with a 2650. It is capable of running around 13-15 minutes depending on track layout. Over the weekend, we ran 7 minute qualifiers and the track was a power hog due to very two high speed sections. After about 9 minutes (7 racing and 2 mins of warmup), I put in around 2000mah.

This track burned more juice per minute than I have ever used with that setup.

Thank you very much! I have an other option going for 3S with a 2700kv motor. I would save weight. Do you have any idea on how much capacity I would need with 3S 25C lipos for 6 minutes run?
