Default high voltage/high c rating or low c rating

i'm about to finish converting to 6s lipo from 4s and need some advise. i'm looking at these two batteries and am wondering if a higher c rating will be undrivable.

or

i have always had good luck with thunder power in the past and have only heard good things about hyperion. It will be powering a tekin 1400/rx8 in a mbx6. thanks

The higher the C rating the better, but since yuor running higher voltage, your amp draw will be lower. I run a 40c-80c 5s 3300mah with an 1800kv motor and I used to run a 25-45c 5s 5000mah. The only difference is that the 40-80c battery is cooler after it has been run.

With the two batteries you posted links to, i dont think you will ntice any difference. And if you do feel the 65c is more punchy, just tune down the punch on the esc.

Hyperion VX series are one of the best

I used to have 5S 3300mah and they were more than enough to propel my old MBX6-T during 10minute heats without breaking a sweat.
