Will there be a big difference in performance in the motor (Competition 3.0 - 13.5R) if I use a SMC 5200mah 50C lipo battery compared to an Intellect 5000mah 50C?
I ask this since I've read in one of the general threads before that for certain stock motors, there is only enough power that it "takes/draws" out of the battery and going 50C or more might not improve its performance.
I only participate at our local club races, thus if the difference is minute or could only be witnessed or experienced by pro racers, then it will be all the same to me.
Thank you in advance
Why would speedpassion comment on the performance of other manufacturers batteries?
That glaring point aside, you wont be able to notice a difference in spec racing. The SMCs are a marginally better quality cell so will probably last for more cycles but on-track performance there is nothing in it.
