I have both of them, can't tell the difference. Especially in offroad. They are practically the same packs.

I have the 3800 30C and the 3400 25C and I can't tell a difference. I have run them in mod and 13.5. I am sure a pro might be able to tell but most can't. I also don't give anything up to the guys running 35C+ packs.

their is a big difference between them. if you have your motor geared right. the 3800 should take off from the 3600. try lowering your gearing and you will see a difference, it will be able to use its power better.

Yes in mod and ss there will not be a big difference, but in 17.5(Stock) Ive seen a huge difference 30c 3800mah takes off on the 25c 3600mah. Ive ran 25c with the same Novak 17.5 setup as my friend, 30c has a bit more punch.

im running a rb5 with a orion 13.5 and lrp spec tc esc,i was running 3200 20c batteries and i had no punch at all,so i think moving up to a better battery and going down two teeth on my spur will do the trick.i am running 1-8-1-1 on the esc and advanced two lines on the motor

Orions 3800mah 30c will give as much punch as you need.
