Default Shorty Packs

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that has shorty packs up to 5500 or 6000 yet? highest I've seen is only 4800

I take it shorties are the hot ticket in the vehicle which is why you are not going with standard length packs?

I've got standard packs, not sure if shortys are the answer either cane... but being able to move weight and knocking about 6 to 7 ounces off car should be two good things

I personally use a 3000mah shorty... Never even use a third of that in a heat... You looking to run long heats/mains? IMHO the higher capacity is not needed and the extra weight isn't needed...

honestly I personally would be comfortable running 4600mah. Usually with 5000mah packs I would get on the low end about 13 minutes of runtime. You may see benefit also running a mild motor like the Tekin 1900Kv in comparison to there 2050 and pick up some runtime there .
