Another Lipo question?
So for the last time so I can understand if all things were equal with two batteries but one had say 3000mah and the other was a 5000mah the car will not be faster just run longer? The c number is going to determine the punch or power of the pack?

In most cases that will hold true, but keep in mind that with a "C" rating it relies on the MAH to get a total current capability. If you are not close to the limits of current draw then you will not likely notice any performance difference, but if you are pulling high amps then a 5000mah pack will perform better than a 3000mah of the same "C" rating.

As you've seen, the discharge capability is a function of both teh C rating and the capacity (mah) of the pac. Pac capacity gets overlooked a lot and you can actually have a lower C rating, high capacity pack with more discharge than a smaller capacity pack with a higher C rating -
3800mah 40C - 152amps
6000mah 30C - 180amps
3800mah 40C - 152amps
6000mah 30C - 180amps

Thanks guys! So how many amps does a 17.5 novak draw?

That motor is listed as 130watts, so for 2S lipo, figure something less than 20amps.

So a 3000mah or a 5000mah wouldnt be any different in performance for me!
